0 offers
The Barbados Nut (Jatropha curcas) is a woody shrub, native to the Caribbean region, that grows to approximately 12 feet tall. It has thick, dark green leaves with yellow flowers that bloom in mid-summer, bearing reddish-yellowish fruits that bear the seeds of the plant. The seeds contain an oleaginous liquid that can be used as a fuel source, and the cakes that are left behind can be used as a fertilizer. The oil can also be used to make soap, candles, and lubricants. Its bright red fruits are enjoyed by many animals, who spread the seeds far and wide, making it a popular choice for landscaping.
