Weight Breakdown

Trunk: Approximately 2,100 lbs (60% of total weight)

Branches: Approximately 1,050 lbs (30% of total weight)

Leaves/Needles: Approximately 350 lbs (10% of total weight)

These proportions vary by species, age, and growing conditions.

Environmental Impact

This tree contains approximately 1,750 lbs of carbon (50% of dry weight).

This represents about 6,400 lbs of CO₂ sequestered from the atmosphere.

A forest of 100 similar trees could sequester the annual carbon emissions of approximately 5 cars.

This calculator provides estimates based on generalized volume and density models. Actual tree weight varies based on species, age, health, moisture content, and growing conditions. For precise measurements, consult with a professional arborist.
