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

Polyvalence

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

-200 kg

* L’arbre continuera à absorber du CO2 même après dix ans de vie. Par conséquent, il s’agit d’une estimation prudente.
