I redirected Popcorn tree to this article since there was no article on popcorn tree and they're the same things.

Can you do the same with chicken tree, this is a well-known name in southern Louisiana. It was given to the Tallow tree since chickens liked to sit in the tree. I see no reason why it should not be mentioned here. Stetsonblade 18:00, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Range and habitat

The "Range and habitat"section describes it United States habitat very well, but does not detail it's range in Asia. This is a major failing for this article, given the tree originates in Asia. We need someone with expertise on this tree to rectify this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.58.59.47 (talk) 21:17, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
