What kind of soil and climate would rubber trees require for healthy growth ? For one I guess it grows only in the tropics. Jay 18:25, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

You can find more information about rubber trees than you'll ever need from the Project Gutenberg's online source of "The Romance of Rubber" by the U.S. Rubber Company here. In particular: The tree grows wild in the hot, damp forests of the Amazon valley and in other parts of South America that have a similar climate. The ideal climate for the rubber tree is one which is uniform all the year round, from eighty-nine to ninety-four degrees at noon, and not lower than seventy degrees at night. -D.

[edit] rubbertree care

Maybe a link to Rubber_tapping should be added to this article. DreamOfShadows 01:38, 16 May 2007 (UTC)DreamOfShadows

[edit] Confusing sentence

"Efforts to cultivate the tree in its native South America use to be unsatisfactory; recently, due to oil rise prices, to crescent demand of stortive cars pneus and improoving cultivation methods, it is been satisfactory cultivated in some hot brazilian sites."

This was just added to the article. What is it trying to say, and can someone render it into clearer English? Until it makes any sense, I'm going to remove it. -GTBacchus^(talk) 21:37, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
