Joe...turpentines are a different tree...i have those here as well..merle
Merle,
I have never seen any such tree. Never (yet) eaten its young leaves.
There's an outfit where we can order 25 seeds for $3 US. I'll keep you posted.
Very interested in this plant.
Terpines from its seeds and leaves can kill leukemia cells in mice, so the
plant is very important medicinally for research, at least.
Thank you, Cousin!
