Two and a half acres is quite a reasonable amount of land to set aside for liquid fuel. People set aside more than that for woodlots. I just set a search running on ebay to see if I can find some seeds. The minuscule amount of research I've done in the last few minutes says it's a tropical tree, but that there are over 40 related species.
