Rubber tree, the scientific name is Euphorbiaceae rubber tree plant, native to the Amazon forest. China's special national glue planting areas are mainly distributed in Hainan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Yunnan and other areas, in addition, Taiwan can also grow, of which Hainan is the main glue planting area. So, how many years can rubber trees live?

How many years can a rubber tree live?

Rubber trees can live for about 60 years. It likes high temperature, high humidity, calm wind and fertile soil, and requires an average annual temperature of 26-27 ℃. It can grow and produce gum normally in the range of 20-30 ℃, and is not resistant to cold. It suffers frost damage when the temperature is below 5 ℃. The average annual precipitation is 1150mm to 2500mm, but it is not suitable to be planted in low wet areas.

Second, the distribution of rubber trees

Rubber tree is native to the western part of Marayue in the Bathia Mason River Basin, mainly in Brazil, followed by Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Venezuela and Bolivia. It has spread to more than 40 countries and regions in Asia, Africa, Oceania and Latin America. The countries with large planting areas are Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, China, India, Vietnam, Nigeria, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Liberia, etc., while Southeast Asian countries are the most widely cultivated and produce the most gum. Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka and India account for 90% of the world's planting area and rubber production. The rubber planting areas in China are mainly distributed in Hainan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Yunnan. In addition, they can also be planted in Taiwan, of which Hainan is the main planting area.

Since 1904, China has been introduced to flatlands, platforms or hills below 500 meters above sea level in Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian and Taiwan, respectively, but in some plateau areas, rubber trees are planted at an altitude of 700 to 1000 meters above sea level. If management can be strengthened, it can also grow well and produce gum normally.
