Xanthoceras sorbifolia, commonly known as the Chinese wingnut, is a rare and native woody oil tree species found exclusively in China. It is not only an important source of edible and biodiesel oils but also a highly valued ornamental plant. In addition to its economic value, it plays a crucial role in soil and water conservation, making it an ideal candidate for ecological restoration projects. With its versatility and resilience, Xanthoceras sorbifolia holds great potential for sustainable development.
One of the most remarkable features of Xanthoceras sorbifolia is its ability to produce high-quality oils. The fruit contains 35–40% oil, while the seeds have an impressive 72% oil content. This oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and free from erucic acid, which makes it safe and beneficial for human consumption. Its linoleic acid content has been used in traditional Chinese medicine, particularly in formulations like "Yoshisou Ning," known for its blood pressure-lowering effects. Edible coffee made from this plant can help prevent hypertension, and products such as linoleic acid dropping pills are already being used to manage high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels.
In terms of energy, Xanthoceras sorbifolia is a promising feedstock for biodiesel production. As global demand for renewable energy increases, using wild plants like Xanthoceras sorbifolia as an alternative to petroleum becomes more critical. During the "10th Five-Year Plan" period, the Chinese Academy of Forestry promoted the cultivation of key fuel-wood species, including Xanthoceras sorbifolia. The successful extraction of diesel oil from this plant marks a significant milestone in bioenergy research.
Beyond oil production, Xanthoceras sorbifolia has multiple uses. The fruits can be consumed directly as a fresh fruit or used in cooking. They also serve as raw materials for various food products, showcasing their culinary versatility. Additionally, the plant is prized for its ornamental value. Its beautiful flowers, fragrant aroma, and long blooming period make it a popular choice for gardens and landscapes. The tree's strong root system and adaptability to different soils make it ideal for reforestation and erosion control.
The plant is highly resilient, capable of thriving in harsh environments with limited water and poor soil conditions. It can withstand drought, cold, and even saline-alkaline soils. Its deep roots allow it to grow in sandy, clay, or rocky soils, and it can survive in areas with very low annual rainfall. With a lifespan that can exceed hundreds of years, Xanthoceras sorbifolia is a long-term investment for both ecological and economic purposes.
Through years of research and breeding, our company has developed the "Xiangguan No. 1" variety, which overcomes the limitations of wild Xanthoceras sorbifolia. This improved variety produces high yields early on, with two harvests per year and a yield of up to 200 kg per tree. After five years, it can produce over 500 kg, and after 8–10 years, individual trees can reach 20–30 kg, with some reaching up to 50 kg. At a seed output rate of 40%, each mu (approximately 667 square meters) can yield over 5,000 kg of seeds, producing more than 2,000 kg of oil. This translates to an income of over 5,000 yuan per mu, making it a highly profitable crop.
