<br>Jatropha is a seasonal shrub or tree. It is drought-resistant and easy to grow in tropical to semi-tropical places. The plant lives for as much as 50 years and might grow nearly 20 feet (6 m.) high. It has a deep, thick taproot that makes it adaptable to bad, dry soil. The leaves are oval, lobed, and deciduous. Overall, the plant is not particularly aesthetically attractive, however it does get appealing green cymes of flowerets which become a [tri-compartment fruit](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) with large black seeds.
