Hi,

Looking forward to hearing about germination, but I noticed you're in
Thailand, and I was originally wondering about at *temperate*
tree.  The brief info I found on the web does show this tree comes
from himalayan "foothills" but depending on altitude that could mean a
lot of different climates.

Does this tree grow where it gets cold in the winter?  Average low
for january here is 26F (-3C) but record low is -19F (-28C).
Thanks so much,
Erik

Hello Erik

Try these databases:

NewCrop SearchEngine at the Center for New Crops & Plant Products at 
Purdue University -- Search for "oil". Results: "The following pages 
containing 'oil' were found -- hits 1-20 of 200". Results are 
hyperlinked to detailed factsheets.
http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/SearchEngine.html

Plants For A Future -- Database Search -- See "Search by Use - Select 
any of the following uses. Or select none and use the plant criteria 
below." Select "Other Use" - oil. Results: "Other Use: Oil (460)". 
Results are hyperlinked to detailed factsheets.

I know someone was growing moringa in Canada, which is supposed to be 
out of its range, I'm not sure how well it did. You can get seeds 
from ECHO. Try jojoba too.

Keith

[Biofuel] temperate oilseed tree?

2005-08-25 Thread Erik Andelman
Hello all,

Does anyone know of a temperate (USDA zone 6b) oilseed tree?  Might as well get some planted now.

Thanks,
Erik
