I have to take pictures of some of the Rubber trees in the Heights...20 plus feet tall....I'll have to make a point of it tomorrow. I think they have heat cables at the base, is the only reason I can think of that they live through the cold weather...

I do have a rubber tree about 8 feet tall...this is a picture after I divided it 3 ways...it was so heavy I couldn't believe it. It's taller than this picture, as you can see...that was the fern tree when it was a smaller fellah. Now you know why you didn't see it, because the fern has swallowed it up with those huge fronds.
