Jatropha curcas
Jatropha curcas is a woody shrub found in tropical areas. It is known to be very drought-resistant and easy to propagate by cuttings. Although it has long been known as a medicinal and toxic agent, it is now gaining attention as a biofuel source for diesel engines due to its seed oil content. A somewhat similar role has long been played by its relative, the jatropha tree (Ricinus communis), whose seeds produce a mixture of oils for lubrication. wikipediA

Aceh, Indonesia find! 🤩 Wonder if Jatropha's drought resistance would help stable growth? 🤔
They are able to survive drought, although their growth is slightly affected.
Thanks for your support :)
