  • New frost-proof Jatropha variety?

    Hi Gerbil
    The plant is being researched for last 15 years worldwide.
    About 41 hybrid cloned varieties are available worldwide if not more specific to conditions of soil growth and weather resistant properties etc.
    But if you are in WA Mr.Collopy has baned the cultivation of Jatropha
    Cattle problem !!!Far out.

    There are lot of good sites on the net that provides heaps of info.
    But apparently he (Mr.Collopy) called it the "Internet Plant".

    Sorry folks no offence but thats how strongly I feel about the decision.
    Knowledge is power.After all we will be spending 2 Billion in our knowledge nation package.
    I hope some of it goes to educate those in power.
    Or we never will have "power to the people".

    We can only do it together.

    Cheers
    Sauman
