Experimental Crop  Industrial Crop: Hydrocarbon  Management: Standard

A plant of moderate to high elevations in the moist to wet tropics, where it can be found at elevations from 600 - 2,400 metres[303 , 418 ]. It grows best in areas where the mean annual temperature is within the range 18 - 28°c[418 ]. It prefers a mean annual rainfall in the range 1,500 - 5,000mm[418 ]. Prefers a well-drained soil[418 ]. The tree can commence fruiting when 6 - 12 metres tall[345 ]. Tree can commence bearing fruit within five years from seed[360 ]. One tree yields an average 250 - 300 kilos of fruit per year[360 ]. One litre of high flammable oil can be obtained from 15 kilos of fresh fruits[345 , 360 ]. There are considerable differences in the proportion of heptane and dihydroterpene found in the oil; the season and degree of ripeness of the fruits undoubtedly playing a considerable role in this respect[345 ]. All parts of the tree are distinctly resiniferous and have the same pleasant, orange-like odour as the fruits[345 ]. The flowers are fragrant[345 ]. Climate: tropical highlands. Humidity: humid. Cultivation: experimental. Management: standard.

Carbon Farming

• Experimental Crop  Plant breeders are testing these plants to see if they could be domesticated for cultivation, but they are still in an experimental phase. Examples include milkweed and leafy spurge.
• Industrial Crop: Hydrocarbon  Materials, chemicals and energy include bioplastics, rubber, biomass products gasoline, jet fuel, diesel, butane, propane, biogas. Plants are usually resprouting plants and saps.
• Management: Standard  Plants grow to their standard height. Harvest fruit, seeds, or other products. Non-Destructive management systems.
