An example of a Redpower Rubber Tree in a jungle biome.

Redpower 2 Rubber Trees are added to world generation by RedPower 2. They generally only grow in Jungle biomes. The only current purpose of Rubber Trees is for their (Jungle) Rubber Wood which differs from "normal" Rubber Wood in that it can only be crafted into sticks (1:8 ratio) or each piece can fed through an Extractor for a 1:1 exchange for Rubber (it cannot be burned to produce charcoal).

When harvesting, be prepared for quite a lot of work. It can take longer than a full Minecraft day to harvest just one tree, which could yield upwards of a dozen stacks of wood. It is advisable to start from the top, utilizing a sickle to get past the leaves.

How To Grow

In order to grow one of these massive trees, you must make enough room for it to grow. To grow one you need a Redpower2 Rubber Tree Sapling at the center of a 3x3 square of dirt. It is advisable to place torches close outside of this 3x3 square to allow growth to continue overnight.

You do not need a 20x20 grid of clear space around the trunk of the tree, but growing it too close to anything might impede its leaf growth at higher levels. You do need free space ABOVE the tree (at least 10 blocks, advisable to have clear sky above it).

Note: You can NOT use bonemeal and that there is no way to speed up the growth of the trees. It usually takes between 10 min to 1 hour real time for the saplings to grow.

Its better that if you want to build a massive tree house that you plant more than one tree at a time.
