Hey Wovoka,

Now that is a tree that I had not heard of in the US.
Here is what USDA shows as the distribution of the Triadica sebifera in the USA: AL, AR, CA, FL, GA, LA, MS, NC, SC, TX.

Apparently Ol Ben Franklin sent some seeds to a guy in 1772 and they have hung around since.
"Since Franklin's time, Chinese tallow has been introduced repeatedly to the United States as an ornamental and potential oil crop species." (KA Langeland et all, UFL.edu)

From what I can gather now, it is considered a Pest in most of the areas where it invaded.
I am not sure exactly where You are, but I am curious... is it super-prevalent there? Do they do anything with the plant-tree-shrub, or is it just a pest?

Hello Yangdu, I build generators with chinese made large ST generator heads, the best part is I make them run on 80% water and 20% waste oils, carbon based waste etc. and they produce exhaust that is almost pure 0xygen. This way of running plasma generator to produce the fuel is the way to go. I can send you info if you have someone in Nepal to do the simple hookup and run in of this device, it would ensure full time power generation for the shop. Please let me know if I can help.

I wanted to add that these Plasma generators work well with gas or diesel engines of ANY size. My help will be of course Free to you.

DocH: I live in west central Louisiana. These trees are definatly a pest. They are almost impossible to get rid of. They are like a weed. Chopping them down is a waste of time (unless you're testing sharp things). The root system must be destroyed. If left on their own they will grow to a trunk diameter of 8"-10" or more. On the plus side they produce a seed ball 1/2" dia. or so and very hard. Makes great slingshot ammo.
 
Tallow trees (china ball trees, chicken trees) will grow in any field left unattended. No one is harvesting the seeds. They do prodice a great amount of shade.
 
Yes it does spread the seeds. But to a young boy in grade school, we didn't care, and what could be more fun than ambushing the school bully and putting big red welts about his head and shoulders?
