Frequently Asked Questions
How much CO2 does a single tree really absorb?
It varies significantly by species, age, and climate, but a commonly cited average for a mature tree is around 22 kg (48 lbs) of CO2 absorbed per year — young trees absorb much less until they reach maturity, often taking 10+ years.
How long does it take for a newly planted tree to reach this absorption rate?
Most trees take 10-20 years to reach significant carbon absorption capacity, meaning the climate benefit of tree planting is a long-term investment rather than an immediate offset.
Does tree species affect absorption rate significantly?
Yes — fast-growing species and larger mature trees generally absorb more CO2 than slow-growing or smaller species, so actual impact varies considerably based on what's planted and local growing conditions.
