What is Rubberwood?

Rubberwood comes from the Para Rubber Tree, Hevea Brasiliensis, which is plantation-grown and produces latex used in making rubber. Rubberwood is environmentally friendly. Once the trees reach maturity, (usually about 25-30 years old) it ceases providing latex. Rather than being scrapped or burned, those mature trees are harvested and cut into lumber and new trees panted. Rubber trees grow in Asia, Africa and South America. They can go over 40 meters high and live up to 100 years.
