The rubber tree producing areas are distributed in Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia and other places. In my country, they are mainly distributed in Guangdong, Fujian, Taiwan and other places, among which Hainan is the main rubber planting area.

Rubber tree growth cycle

Rubber trees like high temperatures and are not cold-resistant. They are suitable for growing in deep, well-drained acidic sandy loam. They have poor adaptability to wind, which can easily reduce rubber production. Rubber trees can be harvested 6-8 years after planting. Its growth period is divided into sapling stage, initial production stage, peak production stage, and declining production stage.

Rubber tree growth rate

Rubber trees grow fastest in an environment of 30 degrees. To control the growth rate of rubber trees, do not start planting in large basins and prune them regularly.

Rubber tree growth cycle management

Rubber trees are tapped no more than 15 times a month, and the annual yield of a single tree is generally around 4-5.8kg. It grows in the tropics, requiring an annual average temperature of 26-27 degrees, and fertilization should be mainly organic fertilizer, supplemented by chemical fertilizer.
