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

Hello norman,
I think that the trees are grafted and not pruned at all – maybe one of the rubber tree growers on this page can explain the procedure better.
cheers

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?

Sir i am interested in planting a rubber tree in our province in leyte, can you help me or are there any association , group who can help me to plant a rubber tree for business or income. I am an ordinary farmer only BUT WE HAVE INHERITED A N ACRE OF LAND. tnx…
Hello Bobby,
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…
