What is a [Jatropha Curcas](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) Tree?
+
Jatropha is a seasonal shrub or tree. It is [drought-resistant](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) and easy to grow in tropical to semi-tropical areas. The plant lives for approximately 50 years and might grow nearly 20 feet (6 m.) high. It has a deep, thick taproot that makes it adaptable to poor, dry soil. The leaves are oval, lobed, and deciduous. Overall, the plant is not especially aesthetically appealing, however it does get appealing green cymes of flowerets which become a [tri-compartment fruit](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) with big black seeds. These large [black seeds](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) are the factor for all the hullaballoo, since they are high in burnable oil. A fascinating piece of Jatropha tree information is that it is noted as a weed in Brazil, Fiji, Honduras, India, Jamaica, Panama, Puerto Rico, and Salvador. This proves how versatile and durable the plant is even when presented to a new area. [Jatropha curcas](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) growing can produce oil that is an excellent replacement for present biofuels. Its effectiveness has been challenged, but it holds true the plant can produce seeds with an oil material of 37%. Unfortunately, it is still a part of the food vs. fuel argument, as it needs land that could go into food production. Scientists are trying to [develop](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) a "very [Jatropha](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy)" with larger seeds and, for that reason, larger oil yields.

+
[Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) usages are rather limited. Most parts of the plant are toxic to eat due to the latex sap, but it is used as a medical. It is useful in treating snakebite, paralysis, dropsy, and obviously some cancers. The plant might have come from Central to South America, however it has been presented worldwide and flourishes wild in like India, Africa, and Asia. Chief amongst [Jatropha](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) utilizes is its potential as a clean burning fuel to [replace fossil](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) fuels. Plantation growing in specific areas has been attempted, however total [Jatropha curcas](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) growing has been a dismal failure. This is since the production mass of oil can not equal the land use by cropping [Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86).

[Jatropha](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) Plant Care and Growth
+
The plant is easy to grow from cuttings or seed. Cuttings lead to quicker maturity and quicker seed production. It prefers warm environments, but it can make it through a light frost. The deep taproot makes it drought-tolerant, although the finest development will be accomplished with extra watering periodically. It doesn't have any significant illness or pest issues in its natural areas. It might be pruned, however [flowers](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) and fruit kind on terminal development, so it is best to wait until after flowering. No other [Jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) plant care is necessary. This plant works as a hedge or living fence, or just as an ornamental stand-alone specimen.
