A good shade tree for parks, homes and street tree plantings. Best grown in full sun and avoid planting in wet areas.
As the common name suggests, rubber can be made from the tree sap, but the extraction process is complicated and too costly for commercial application.
Native to China, Eucommia has been used for centuries to support the endocrine system, improve kidney health, and strengthen bones and muscles. It is also said to prevent osteoporosis and enhance heart health.
