Eventually, seeds from these trees were transported to rubber plantations in other tropical climates during the era of European colonialism.<\/span><\/p>\nCurrently, most natural rubber comes from Latin American-derived trees transplanted to Southeast Asia, as w\u00adell as India, Sri Lanka and Africa.<\/span><\/p>\nRubber Trees are ready in 6 years<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nIt takes about six years for a rubber tree to grow to a point where it’s economical to harvest the sap, which is called latex. <\/span><\/p>\nHere’s how you tap one: The collector makes a thin, diagonal cut to remove a sliver of bark. The milky-white latex fluid runs down the cut and is collected in a bucket. After about six hours, the fluid stops flowing. In that six-hour period, a tree can usually fill a gallon bucket. The tree can be tapped again with another fresh cut, usually the next day.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"rubber](\"https:\/\/www.doublecointires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rubber20plantation20worker.jpg\")
<\/span><\/p>\nMesoamericans dipped their feet in latex to make shoes<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nInterestingly, the Mesoamericans would dry the collected rubber latex and make balls and other things, like shoes. They would dip their feet in the latex and allow it to dry. After several dips and dryings, they could peel a shoe from their feet. Next, they smoked their new rubber shoes to harden them. <\/span><\/p>\n![\"charles](\"https:\/\/www.doublecointires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/charles20goodyear.jpg\")
