Silver Maple is a fast-growing carbon tree that is native to North America. Over 25 years it can absorb 11,000 pounds of carbon dioxide. Fast growing high absorbing trees coupled with new densification techniques make wood stronger than some titanium alloys. This would be huge for the #climate

Interesting. Do you have a link? I wonder how densification works, and also if it becomes more resistant to rotting (to be more useful as long-term carbon sink).

I'm in favor of any wood that's stronger than titanium.

And not to forget its excellent behaviour in Fire… structural integrity can be maintained several times longer than steel or concrete.

Trees also provide food, habitat for wildlife, shade, and balance the water cycle! I've been growing heartnuts because they sequester a lot of carbon and provide quality food. Thanks for talking about trees and climate.
