What is a [Jatropha Curcas](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) Tree?
+
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 approximately 50 years and may grow almost 20 feet (6 m.) high. It has a deep, thick taproot that makes it [adaptable](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) to poor, dry soil. The leaves are oval, lobed, and deciduous. Overall, the plant is not particularly aesthetically enticing, but it does get appealing green cymes of flowerets which develop into a tri-compartment fruit with large black seeds. These big black seeds are the reason for all the hullaballoo, because they are high in burnable oil. An interesting piece of [Jatropha tree](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) info is that it is noted as a weed in Brazil, Fiji, Honduras, India, Jamaica, Panama, Puerto Rico, and Salvador. This proves how adaptable and sturdy the plant is even when presented to a new region. [Jatropha curcas](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) cultivation can produce oil that is an excellent alternative for existing biofuels. Its effectiveness 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 argument, as it needs land that could go into [food production](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US). Scientists are trying to develop a "super Jatropha" with [bigger seeds](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) and, therefore, larger oil yields.

Jatropha usages are rather limited. Most parts of the plant are poisonous to consume due to the latex sap, but it is utilized as a medicinal. It is beneficial in treating snakebite, paralysis, dropsy, and obviously some cancers. The plant may have stemmed in [Central](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) to South America, but it has actually been presented around the globe and flourishes wild in places like India, Africa, and Asia. Chief amongst Jatropha uses is its possible as a clean burning fuel to replace fossil fuels. Plantation growing in certain areas has actually been attempted, however total [Jatropha curcas](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) growing has actually been a miserable failure. This is due to the fact that the production mass of oil can not equal the land usage by cropping Jatropha.

Jatropha Plant Care and Growth
+
The plant is simple to grow from cuttings or seed. Cuttings lead to quicker maturity and quicker seed production. It prefers warm environments, however it can survive a light frost. The deep taproot makes it drought-tolerant, although the very best development will be attained with [additional watering](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) periodically. It does not have any [major illness](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) or pest problems in its natural regions. It may be pruned, but [flowers](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) and fruit form on terminal development, so it is best to wait until after flowering. No other [Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) plant care is needed. This plant works as a hedge or living fence, or just as a decorative stand-alone specimen.
