john - they said they put plants in ground April 08 at yucatan plantation, so this april maybe... I'm hoping we might JV with Garland who also has SA plantations and access to existing seed-oil based processing plants in USA and we start with both sapling revenue and oil revs mid-to-fall this year; and don't forget the additional possibilities of the associated Zilkha biomass revs... regardless I'm picking up lil whenever I have spare change. the below is DD on hows/whens per harvest time; these guys should know but regardless i believe they're outa India but boeng/rolls-royse like them so good enough for me. I feel if they can keep her afloat and JV with the names/money involved here by 2010 it could be very nice equity to hold. damn sure at the bottom now imo

JATROPHA PLANT LIFESPAN
Jatropha takes approximately 12 to 15 months from planting to first harvest, and the plant can thrive successfully for 40 years.

''Once received from Terasol Energy, the jatropha oil was refined through a collaborative effort between Air New Zealand, Boeing and leading refining technology developer UOP, utilising UOP technology to produce jet fuel from renewable sources that can serve as a direct replacement to traditional petroleum-based fuel.''
