<br>What is a [Jatropha Curcas](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) Tree?<br>
<br>Jatropha is a seasonal shrub or tree. It is drought-resistant and easy to grow in tropical to semi-tropical areas. The plant lives for as much as 50 years and may grow nearly 20 feet (6 m.) tall. 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 particularly [visually](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) appealing, however it does get attractive green cymes of flowerets which become a [tri-compartment fruit](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) with big black seeds. These big black seeds are the factor for all the hullaballoo, due to the fact that they are high in burnable oil. An interesting piece of Jatropha tree details is that it is listed as a weed in Brazil, Fiji, Honduras, India, Jamaica, Panama, Puerto Rico, and Salvador.

Its usefulness has actually been challenged, but it holds true the plant can produce seeds with an oil content 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 establish a "very Jatropha" with bigger seeds and, therefore, bigger oil yields.<br>

<br>[Jatropha](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) usages are rather limited. Most parts of the plant are harmful to consume due to the latex sap, but it is used as a medical.

This is due to the fact that the production mass of oil can not equal the land usage by cropping Jatropha.<br>
