Hi,

Can someone tell me if this is the Jatropha plant to use for bio diesel.

My buddy purchased Jatropha seeds from India but couldn't get them to grow.

My vife tried to help and got something started in a pot but I don't think it looks like Jatropha at all.

The seeds are black and bone dry.

Se attached pics of plants, about 1 month old, and seeds.

BTW. How far north in the US can you grow Jatropha?

TIA

Dear Pinne,

We had Jatropha as it had differents type. Yours are Jatropha but not commonly jatropha which use as Bio-Diesel which having high volume of oil fm its seeds.

For simple test it, burn it and if it produce oil while you burn it and the oil. It is jatropha....as I am not clear enough to see it. Thats for your simple test.

or you able to see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jatropha and click on the species as it stated. Good luck Mate...
