The Tree of Life or Happy Tree - is a deciduous tree widely cultivated in parts of China, and now around the world for its tumor and cancer treatment properties. These deciduous trees are usually included in the tupelo family Nyssaceae and also included in the dogwood family Cornaceae . Camptotheca is used to make cancer fighting drugs: Irinotecan, Topotecan, 9-Aminocamptothecin and Camptothecin-1 and is consequently much sought after and cultivated. In autumn curiously heads of oddly hued green and sharply angled fruit grow on the branches of the trees.
