I am seeking people who have Jatropha Curcas of decent yields that I can purchase some cuttings for cloning.
Thanks

Peter,
5 tonnes/ha/year will the most you can get, in a fertile and well irigated soil. Do your calculation on this figure. Or better still, lower than this. During the last jatropha seminar in the Netherlands (March 2007) it was agreed (yes, agreed by the participants owing to the unavailability of recorded data) that the most that jatropha can produce is that much. Any figure above that, treat it carefully.
Hope this helps.

Hi Trophaja,
Thanks for the info.
If you are talking about seeds then you are probably right with the 5 tons figure. However we are getting much more but I'm still looking for better trees if there is such a thing.
Cheers
Peter

Sorry Peter, may I repeat my reply.
Please check, for example, a site named peterlink wrote:

Hello Peter...
We are located in central Florida and are just now planting 600 Jatropha seedlings... Wondering where you are located and what you are doing... Perhaps there is some way we can work together...
