What plant takes the most carbon out of the air? How many can answer this?

I have no idea. I guess I could google it, but this is more fun. I'll take a wild guess and say Texas cotton.

If you mean carbon dioxide for the purpose of photosynthesis, it's plankton in the oceans.

In the case of giant tropical bamboo, one newly planted bamboo plant can sequester 2 tons of carbon dioxide in just 7 years.
In comparison, a typical hardwood tree will sequester 1 ton of carbon dioxide in 40 years.
When compared to pine, bamboo can absorb up to 5 times more CO2
One of the best tree species for absorbing carbon is oaks, thanks to their large canopies, dense wood, and long lifespans.
Other top carbon-absorbing trees include the common horse-chestnut, black Walnut, London plane, and American sweetgum.

Very interesting! What about smaller plants....bushes and shrubs and such. Which are the most efficient? I'm kinda hoping for wild rose hedges, because those nasty buggers are taking over in much of Texas.
