First Rubber Tree by ianjb21

First Rubber Tree

Looks like an ordinary tree !! but is actually the last surviving 1 of the orginal 9 Rubber trees planted in Malaysia in 1877. Kuala Kangsar. The Seeds were stolen from South America. Propagated in UK, the seedlings then traveled to Malaysia via Singapore.
So cool that trees can be so old, and great history... thanks!
