Rubber tree nursery – Kidapawan Mindanao
This rubber tree nursery is on the side of the road leading up to Mt. Apo. I had picked up a passenger near the hot springs in Agko that was involved with the project and he gave me a quick tour.
The grafting procedure is being explained. I might have it all wrong but I think that he was saying that they use root stock from one plant and another variety is grafted on to it.
We had a nice conversation coming down from the mountain. It is not common for foreigners to be riding around out here on a bike.
Apparently it takes about 25 years for a tree to reach it’s peak production of about a liter of milky sap per day. The caretaker has to use caution not to over do it when the grooves are cut into the tree’s trunk or the tree might not recover.
With proper care, a rubber tree is expected to have a life expectancy of well over 100 years.
When these trees are ready to be planted they do not go on Mount Apo because the elevation is too high for optimum growing conditions. This variety does well at an altitude of 700 feet above sea level.
It is interesting to see the vegetation change as you gain altitude. It gets damp and cool the higher you get.

Hello jhong,
Great idea!
Just avoid climbing the week after school lets out because the mountain gets packed with graduates!
The night we were on the peak we had the mountain to ourselves. It is really peaceful to sit at the top and just look around and enjoy the night.

Hello MERCILY CAYENATO,
You will have to consult with a rubber tree expert.
There are variables such as growing elevation etc that are very important to success. Be sure to research carefully and then GO FOR IT!
Correct root stock and grafting are a technical aspects that are very important.
I wish you success…

where could i find a variety such as kt39/kt35 and how much it will cost per seedlings????
Hello j.t besana,
I really don’t have that kind of information. I just gave the manager of this farm a lift on the back on my motorbike when we were coming down from Mount Apo.
He invited me for a quick tour of this rubber tree nursery.
You will have to get with a professional supplier of that sort of thing. Good luck with your project!

Hi ron,
“dutchpickle” doesn’t know anything about buying rubber trees.
Get with an expert to see if you have the right conditions for growing these trees, keeping in mind that it takes 25 years to reach peak production. Careful planning now will pay off in the future!

tnx dp for your advice

I got across this website. I came from malaybalay City, Bukidnon and interested in rubber plantation. My area is an elevated one though i dont have yet the exact data of the elevation but it was estimated by the Department of Agriculture personnel to be 900-1000 meter above sea level. Is it feasible for rubber plantation at that elevation?
How much it cost for each seedlings in your nursery if ever I’ll buy from you for 4 hectares? how about to the transpo going to malaybalay?

What is the elevation of your land (above sea level)?
The reason I ask this is that rubber trees do not do well in the lowlands.

Hi Efren
mangutana unta ko kung duna naba kay seedling nga pwde itanom sa land nga my elevation nga more than 1000 mtrs above sea level? ng ingon man gud and Dept of Agriculture nga wala pa clay studies nga nabuhat sa more than 1000mtrs ky 600 mtrs lang kutob ang ilang na studyhan. however sa vietnam more than 1k mtrs pwde ra unsa nga clone ug duna nba kay clone para sa akong type of land?
thanks
Hello christine,
Hopefully Efran can help you out on this. Probably the piece of land you plan to use would be too small for mature trees but it might work out well as a nursery.
good luck

my question is, does efren already have a clone of rubber seedling that can be use in my area in which the elevation is more than 1000mtrs above sea level? as per advice by the Dept of Agriculture our rubber clones here are good only for those lands with elevation of 600mtrs below however as a nursery I am looking for about 7000pcs of rubber seedlings in which clones are suitable for my land which is more that 1000mtrs above sea level…

Hi this is Junia from Luzon. I had been reading this site and it seems rubber tree thrives well only in mindanao. is that so? any comments or suggestions from the experts regarding rubber tree plantation? we are planning to start here but before that, I am very willing to know thoughts and ideas from anybody. I appreciate it. My contact number is 09481499229.
We are also in need of a lot of rubber tree seedlings and rubber tree caring specialist too. Thanks. God bless

hi am interested to start planting rubber but I dont know where to buy seeds of good variety of rubber. Can you help me please?

Hi Julie,
There is an art to growing rubber trees. A different rubber strain is grafted to root stock of another variety and then grown in a nursery for a time until they are ready to be transplanted to the field where they will mature. The desired end result is a strong tree that will have a good solid base and be a high producer.
Elevation above sea level is an important condition for selecting where you want to plant your crops. Confer with people that do this sort of thing in a professional way when you make your plan. The nursery featured on this page was alongside the road returning from Lake Agko to Kidapawan and I just offered the grower a ride. We stopped to do a tour of his growing facility. It was very interesting and the one thing that was stressed was the location of the field you choose to plant.
good luck and careful planning !

Hello Lea,
I suggest that you meet with rubber tree growers in person to get more information about the best conditions for growing these rubber trees. I am told that elevation is one of the variables to consider when deciding the best location for starting a rubber plantation.
I do not have any experience growing or harvesting rubber trees – it would be very important to research this closely before investing money in to a new venture. Possibly consider working with another grower for some time to learn the tricks of the trade.
best wishes on this venture

All NGO are invited to help the TAU-BUID tribe in the said Project. I believe this is the start to alleviate poverty of my community the tau buid tribe.
Helo Oscar,
Be sure to get advice from experience planters in your area. I am told that it is very important the location, elevation, rainfall are good for the area you intend to plant.
dp
are seeds not the seedlings of rubber tree available? where can I buy?
thanks.
Hey Fred,
I am no expert on growing rubber trees but I think that they are grown from cuttings rather than seeds. The root stock is often from a different plant than the tree itself. Be sure to consult the experts if you plan to get into the business.
dp
i have just visited Zambaonga, Sibugay. I met the the IP representative there and said that 60% of the farm there is cultivated for rubber plantation. Most of the rubbr farmers there are looking for investors so that they can improve their rubber production. They arre looking also for investors who can sell their produce at higher price. The existing price of lump rubber this month is 35-40 pesos per kilo. They wanted to improve the quanlity processing of their products so that they can sell their produce at a higher competitive price.
