Rubber tree

rubbertree.jpg

This native tree has been cut many times and is being cut over old scars, so it doesn't yeild as much. Each new cut each day takes off a small strip maybe 3mm wide which will cause the tree to blead latex which runs down the 45 degree cut out over a leaf that is inserted into the bark to make the latex drip into a half of a coconut shell.
