Lemon (4.5-13.6kg of CO2 per year)

Eureka lemon trees are among the most widely grown lemon varieties. They produce medium-sized, bright yellow fruits with a slightly acidic flavor. Eureka lemons are typically harvested year-round, making them a popular choice for home gardens and commercial orchards.

lemon trees are not typically considered as efficient in carbon sequestration as larger, long-lived tree species like oaks or pines, they still contribute to carbon dioxide absorption and can help mitigate climate change, albeit to a lesser extent.

The exact amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by a lemon tree in one year can vary depending on factors such as its size, age, health, and environmental conditions. However, as a rough estimate, a lemon tree may absorb around 10 to 30 pounds (4.5 to 13.6 kilograms) of carbon dioxide per year.

Keep in mind that while lemon trees may not sequester as much carbon dioxide as some other tree species, they offer other environmental benefits. They provide shade, improve air quality, and support biodiversity by providing habitat and food for wildlife. Additionally, the fruits they produce can be a valuable food source for humans, contributing to sustainable agriculture and food security.
