Rubber Harvest - 04 February


On our hike around the estate one of Anusha's rubber workers demonstrated harvesting rubber - or more accurately the sap that is cured into rubber. The stuff that looks like white latex in this picture is the sap. Not much rubber is being harvested right now because the weather has been too cool for sap to flow. Sap flowed from this tree fairly strong (at least in my sap harvesting opinion) so perhaps the harvest will begin again soon in earnest.
