The important moments in your tree's life.

Semillas

Todo empieza con una pequeña semilla protegida por el calor de la tierra.

Curiosity about me

The important moments in your tree's life.

Let's start with introductions

An evergreen tree able to adapt to different environmental contexts and thus grow to very variable dimensions, ranging from a scarce meter to a height of 30 meters. Its fruits are a source of food and also used for medicinal purposes, but it's often cultivated also for its beauty and for its wide shading crown.

My significance

Polivalencia

Given its great ability to take different forms and adapt to different conditions, the Water Pear is found in a wide range of habitats. It occupies the widest range of habitats of any African plant

0 kg

2029

-200 kg

* El árbol continuará absorbiendo CO2 incluso después del décimo año. Por lo tanto, esta es una estimación prudencial.
