Rubber from Desert Plants Studied for Wider Use
Experiments are under way on native rubber bearing plants in the desert districts of southern California and Arizona. A promising desert milkweed variety grows in clumps like large bunch grass, with new cultivation methods aiming to produce rubber in large quantities if extraction processes prove viable. Mary hardy temperate region plants may also yield rubber nationwide if quantity and extraction methods improve, including a hardy form from northwest China ripening seeds in Washington and reaching Massachusetts.
