In the US PNW coast area Douglas Fir trees are harvested for lumber within about 30 years, plus or minus. Maybe the person you were talking to was considering the harvest of the tree to be the moment when the CO2 is “reclaimed”?

Wrt to when the tree pays off the carbon footprint generated by raising and planting the seedling, I guess it’s less than three years.
Fun fact: Douglas Fir reach peak carbon fixation rate at about 120 years.

Green beans. My wife keeps growing different kinds of beans and I find myself yearning for the perfect green pods. Scarlet Runner was surprisingly fantastic last year, eaten green. This year she grew Yard Long beans and those were wonderful too.
