Rubberwood
Rubberwood trees grow an impressive 75 feet or more over their lifetime and mature trees have a diameter of around 3 feet. Rubberwood trees are farmed extensively in Asia and are harvested for their latex each year, but by the time they get to around 30 years old, latex yields decrease to the point that it’s not commercially viable to tap the tree anymore. Until recently, when trees reached this point, the were burned or chopped down for fire wood to make room for new planting. The wood is now used extensively in furniture, flooring, construction and even toys. Given their large size, a single tree can provide a great deal of timber. Rubberwood is strong, flexible and also resistant to fungus, bacteria, and mold. It’s an eco-friendly, sustainable and high-quality wood!
