<br>[Jatropha](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) is a [seasonal shrub](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd) or tree. It is drought-resistant and easy to grow in tropical to semi-tropical locations. The plant lives for up to 50 years and might grow almost 20 feet (6 m.) tall. It has a deep, thick taproot which makes it adaptable to poor, dry soil. The leaves are oval, lobed, and deciduous. Overall, the plant is not especially visually appealing, but it does get attractive green cymes of [flowerets](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) which turn into a tri-compartment fruit with large black seeds. These big black seeds are the reason for all the hullaballoo, since they are high in burnable oil. An intriguing piece of [jatropha curcas](https://www.abnnewswire.net/companies/en/31347/%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%A9%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%97-Mission-NewEnergy-%E0%B8%88%E0%B8%B3%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%94.html/4) 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 hardy the plant is even when introduced to a new region. [Jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) cultivation can produce oil that is an excellent alternative to present biofuels. Its effectiveness has actually been challenged, but it is true the plant can [produce seeds](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) with an oil content of 37%. Unfortunately, it is still a part of the food vs. fuel dispute, as it needs land that could enter into food production. Scientists are trying to develop a "incredibly Jatropha" with bigger seeds and, for that reason, bigger [oil yields](https://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/ASX:MBT/Mission-NewEnergy-Ltd).<br>

This is due to the fact that the production mass of oil can not equate to the land use by cropping [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html).<br>
