It is [drought-resistant](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) and simple to grow in tropical to [semi-tropical](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) areas. The plant lives for as much as 50 years and may grow almost 20 feet (6 m.) high. It has a deep, thick taproot that makes it adaptable to bad, dry soil. The leaves are oval, lobed, and deciduous. Overall, the plant is not particularly aesthetically appealing, but it does get appealing green cymes of flowerets which [develop](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US) into a tri-compartment fruit with large black seeds.

Its usefulness has actually been challenged, however it is true the plant can produce seeds with an oil content of 37%. Unfortunately, it is still a part of the food vs. fuel debate, as it requires land that might enter into food production. Scientists are attempting to develop a "extremely Jatropha" with larger seeds and, therefore, bigger oil yields.<br>
