Is Xinyang City, Henan Province Suitable for Planting Rubber Trees?

First of all, you have to know what rubber tree is and what kind of living environment it is suitable for.

Hevea brasiliensis is a deciduous tree with milky juice, and the annual average precipitation needs to be 1 150 ~ 2500mm, but it is not suitable for planting in places with low humidity, and it is suitable for growing in acidic sandy loam with deep soil layer, fertile and moist soil and good drainage.

Then we compare Xinyang's environment according to the characteristics of rubber trees.

Xinyang belongs to the north subtropical zone, a subtropical humid area, with a typical monsoon climate and beautiful natural scenery influenced by the subtropical monsoon. Xinyang has abundant sunshine, with an average annual temperature of16.1-19.6℃ and a long frost-free period of 260-290 days on average. Abundant rainfall, annual average rainfall 1200- 1900 mm, humid air and annual average relative humidity of 87%. Xinyang has four distinct seasons and rainy spring, which is the most rainy season among the four seasons. In summer, the climate of high temperature and high humidity is obvious, with plenty of sunshine and the most precipitation, and there are often heavy rains, and the rainy season will appear in June and July every year; Autumn is cool, the weather is clear, the precipitation is reduced, and there will be continuous rain in some years; In winter, the climate is wet and cold, with little precipitation. Precipitation takes the form of rain and snow or a mixture of rain and snow. In the four seasons, winter lasts for a long time (about 90 days), but the cold period is short, and the average daily temperature is below 0℃ for about 20 days.

It can be seen that the average precipitation in Xinyang can meet the requirements. However, this is not enough. From the perspective of soil:

Rubber trees are suitable for growing in acid sandy loam with deep soil layer, fertile and moist soil and good drainage. The soil in Xinyang is mainly yellow brown soil.

From the climate point of view: the rubber roots are shallow, the branches are fragile, the adaptability to the wind is poor, and it is easy to get cold, which reduces the rubber output. Because Xinyang has four distinct seasons, if you plant rubber trees, the yield will be greatly affected by your climate.

From the origin and current main distribution of rubber trees:

Hevea brasiliensis is native to the western region of Marayo, Brazil, mainly in Brazil, followed by Peru, Colombia, Venezuela and Bolivia. Now it has spread to more than 40 countries and regions in Asia, Africa, Oceania and Latin America. Countries with large planting areas include: Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, China, India, Viet Nam, Nigeria, Brazil, Sri Lanka and Liberia. Southeast Asian countries are the most widely planted and produce the most rubber. Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka and India account for 90% of the world's rubber planting area and rubber production. Rubber planting areas in China are mainly distributed in Hainan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Yunnan, and can also be planted in Taiwan Province Province, with Hainan as the main rubber planting area.

Do you see it? Aside from foreign countries, you should be able to see the distribution in China. Suitable places for planting are places where the four seasons have not changed (the so-called four seasons are like spring). You should know more about the climate in Xinyang, hehe. Other in-depth analysis, because time is limited, I won't go into details. In a word, Xinyang, Henan Province is totally unsuitable for planting rubber trees. Reluctantly planting rubber trees can probably make a living. It is impossible to get rich by it.
