<br>What is a [Jatropha Curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) Tree?<br>
<br>[Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) is a seasonal shrub or tree. It is drought-resistant and easy to grow in tropical to semi-tropical locations. The plant lives for as much as 50 years and may grow nearly 20 feet (6 m.) tall. It has a deep, thick taproot which makes it versatile to bad, dry soil. The leaves are oval, lobed, and deciduous. Overall, the plant is not particularly [aesthetically](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) enticing, however it does get [appealing green](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) cymes of flowerets which become a tri-compartment fruit with big black seeds. These large black seeds are the reason for all the hullaballoo, since they are high in burnable oil. An interesting 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 shows how versatile and hardy the plant is even when introduced to a new area. [Jatropha curcas](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) growing can produce oil that is a great replacement for existing biofuels. Its usefulness has actually been challenged, but it is real the plant can produce seeds with an oil content of 37%. Unfortunately, it is still a part of the food vs. fuel debate, as it requires land that could go into food production. Scientists are attempting to establish a "very Jatropha" with bigger seeds and, therefore, larger oil yields.<br>
<br>[Jatropha](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) Curcas Cultivation<br>
<br>[Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) usages are rather limited. Most parts of the plant are hazardous to [consume](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) due to the latex sap, but it is utilized as a medical. It works in dealing with snakebite, paralysis, dropsy, and apparently some cancers. The plant may have [stemmed](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) in Central to South America, but it has actually been presented all over the world and flourishes wild in places like India, Africa, and Asia. Chief among Jatropha utilizes is its potential as a tidy burning fuel to change nonrenewable fuel sources. Plantation cultivation in particular [locations](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) has been tried, however total [Jatropha curcas](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) growing has been a [dismal failure](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy). This is because the production mass of oil can not equal the land use by cropping Jatropha.<br>
<br>[Jatropha](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) Plant Care and Growth<br>
<br>The plant is easy to grow from cuttings or seed. Cuttings result in faster 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 [additional watering](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) occasionally. It doesn't have any significant disease or insect issues in its natural regions. It might be pruned, but [flowers](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) and fruit kind on terminal development, so it is best to wait till after flowering. No other Jatropha plant care is required. This plant works as a hedge or living fence, or simply as a decorative stand-alone specimen.<br>
