I am thinking of using the berries > for a fule crop for pellet stoves... I grew up in Southwest Louisiana, and Tallow trees are trying to take over in that area. I have also seen quite a few of them in Southeast Texas. I am by no means an expert on trees, but Tallow trees seem to be fast growing and very competitive. Local legend says that Tallow trees were introduced in Louisiana 50-75 years ago as fast growing shade trees and they have spread from there. I do not know where they are native to. Tallow trees are a problem in SW Louisiana because they love to grow on roadsides and in fencerows and neglected pastures. For all practical purposes, Tallow trees are useless. One could do well if he could find a use for Tallow trees or find an efficient way to control them. The only ways to control them now are fire, herbicides, and heavy duty mowers. Please keep me posted if you find anything. I am interested in finding a use for this imported, noxious tree. Glenn A.
