  • What is tung oil used for?
  • Tung oil, also called China wood oil or nut oil, has traditionally been used in lamps in China. In modern times, it is used as an ingredient in paint, varnish, and caulk. It is also used as a wood finish for furniture and other wooden objects. After processing to remove gums in the oil, it was also used as a motor fuel. [ 3]
  • What does a tung tree look like?
  • The fruit is a hard, woody pear-shaped berry 4¨C6 cm long and 3¨C5 cm diameter, containing four or five large, oily seeds; it is green initially, becoming dull brown when ripe in autumn. [ 1][ 2] The tung tree is valued for tung oil, which is derived from the seeds of the tree.
  • Are tung trees poisonous?
  • The wood of the tree is lightweight and strong, and is sometimes used as a substitute for balsa or basswood. [ 8] The tung tree is poisonous in all of its parts, including the fruit and the seeds, although some parts of the tree have been used for medicinal purposes in the past.
