Welcome to Nature's Rest

	Tapping each pampered tree produces about a tea cup of liquid latex per day!

The tree is given a rest period to recover from the tap and thus produce a healthier tree. The rubber tree is a valued and renewable resource.

	Only select areas of Earth have the right soil and climate conditions to grow the rubber trees (hevea brasiliensis). 1,000 trees per acre is common.
