snottiegobble starts with ... I have just read about the Diesel tree that when fully grown produces 40 ltrs of bio diesel per year which equates to 12000 ltres per planted acre! A forward thinking Aussie farmer imported seedlings from Brazil & has already sold 20,000 of them to other farmers. A great article, but nowhere does it reveal the true identity of the tree. DOES ANYONE KNOW IT OR CAN HAZARD A GUESS? ( it looks a bit like a rubber tree, but it isnt! | About the Author snottiegobble Bunbury/Busso(smack in the middle) 3rd May 2011 11:18pm #UserID: 3468 Posts: 1458 View All snottiegobble's Edible Fruit Trees |

trikus says... coconut oil is put straight into tanks of Landrovers after filtering in Bouganville , even in tropical cairns this oil goes a bit solid in winter .. Much used in the Philippines , there its called cocodiesel ... must start getting a press & other equiptmnt needed to make my own , so many nuts go to waste up here . So instead of paying @100 to fill your tank spend a few hours husking and splitting coconuts . btw I know a few growers of the diesel tree up here , but not seen the tree yet . google search easily found name .... Copaifera langsdorffii is a tropical tree though | About the Author Trikus battered Tully 4th May 2011 10:19am #UserID: 930 Posts: 749 View All Trikus's Edible Fruit Trees |
snottiegobble says... Tha article is in one of the OUTBACK magazines sitting in a waiting room. Sorry I dont remember the edition date, but its cover had a guy (wearing an akubra)holding up a large picture frame in front so he looked like a photo! Thanks trikus, they drive a pipe into the heartwood & bung it. The fuel is then supposed to run out like oil out of a tank, but it is a seasonal yield. | About the Author snottiegobble Bunbury/Busso(smack in the middle) 4th May 2011 4:43pm #UserID: 3468 Posts: 1458 View All snottiegobble's Edible Fruit Trees |
