Questions & Comments

You are in SE Texas - have you gotten this tree to grow there? And do you think it might grow up near the Abilene/San Saba area? Also, do you know how to process it for the oil? THANKS!

The trees are still young sprouts so not sure, but I am giving them tender loving care. As far as extracting the oil, they normally just press the oil out of the leaves. I am going to juice the leaves and heat it up to steam off the water leaving the oil.

You can let the tree grow big, trim it into a small bonsai, or do what I am doing; grow it in a large pot on the patio and shape it into a cool looking tree that is the height you want, 6' in my case
