- Description:
- Near Cairo, ca. 1906-1908. Woman stands next to a flowering tung tree. The seeds of the tung tree produce tung oil, the most powerful drying oil known. According to the J. B. Wight Nurseries and Fairchild's The World Has My Garden, the "largest tung oil tree in this country has grown from a seed imported in 1907. It has borne 250 pounds of nuts in one year."
