Rubber Trees Grow in Florida At USDA Experiment Station
Before the war, USDA experts near Miami tested rubber plants on 150 acres. Grafting increased tree yield from 3 to 21 30 pounds per tree, with nursery grafting then shipped to Central and South America. Seedlings grown in hot houses ensure high quality stock for transplanting and eventual rubber production. The station ships 90 000 saplings yearly, and experts predict viable rubber production competing with synthetic varieties.
