In its native haunts the first species produces fruit throughout 
the year. Fruit in all stages of maturity and flowers may be 
found on the same tree. The fruit of the Taraktogenos Kurzii 
which matures only in July is about the size of an orange and is 
closely packed with from 30 to 40 seeds. From these seeds the 
valuable chaulmoogra oil is pressed.
