It is commonly called Chinese tallow, [2] Chinese tallowtree, Florida aspen, chicken tree, gray popcorn tree, [3] or candleberry tree. [4] The seeds (as well as from those of Triadica cochinchinensis) are the sources of stillingia oil, a drying oil used in paints and ...
Stillingia oil is an oil extracted (by solvents) from the seeds of plants of the Triadica genus such as Triadica sebifera (Chinese tallow tree) and Triadica cochinchinensis (Mountain tallow tree). [1] [2] [3] It is a drying oil used in paints and varnishes, [4] and it is believed to be toxic in China. [5]

Others that Rushing said should go into the invasive list would be Virginia Creeper, Poison Ivy, Artemisia, Tallow Trees and Willow Trees. Ross Reily can be reached by email at rreily@gannett.com ...
B. collaris adults feed on the leaves of T. sebifera.Each adult produces about 25.5 ± 1.5 feeding holes per day. The larvae feed mainly on young roots and stems, making tunnels.
However, natural wildfires are an important factor in maintaining these areas and when fire is suppressed, trees and shrubs quickly grow in and fill in these areas. The Chinese tallow tree (Triadica sebifera) is a particularly aggressive and problematic invasive species in prairie habitat in the region. Prairies are also often the first areas ...
Triadica cochinchinensis is a species of tree known as the mountain tallow tree. [1] The seeds (as well as from those of Triadica sebifera) are the sources of stillingia oil, a drying oil used in paints and varnishes. The fatty coat of the seeds is known as stillingia tallow, hence its common name.
