We cut down a very large Rubber Tree in the yard. The rubber tree can grow to over 100 feet tall in the wild. This one was planted in the 1970s when we knew little about how large it would become. I would have let it live, there is something majestic about such huge trees. Kapa’au, Kohala
Rubber Trees, like Banyan Trees send down roots from the tree which help to support the large branches. This one was huge.
