Because of its high seed yields, this perennial crop has legitimate potential to supply the biodiesel industry with critical feedstock at low cost. Tallow trees readily adapt to soils too infertile, wet or saline for profitable agriculture. Commercial production will not compete with food crops for limited land resources.
