From the article in Newsweek Tech & Science, Single Cherry Tree Can Offset 20 Pounds of Carbon Emissions Each Year, A New Study Says, by Aila Slisco, 07-Apr-2020
A study from South Korea's Forest Research Institute indicated that each 25-year-old cherry tree can absorb about 20 pounds of emissions each, according to a Tuesday report from UPI.
The amount of carbon absorbed by cherry trees may pale in comparison to other types of trees, with Black walnut, horse-chestnut, Douglas fir and pine trees among some that are thought to be especially adept.
The average mature tree can absorb 48 tons per year according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
