How do you extract gum from a tree bark?

Question

thanks! (:

Answer 1

All trees produce resin or latex, to close a wound and the natural gum=caoutchouc=India rubber is the latex of the gum-trees ( Hevea brasiliensis ).
People cut some "V" into the bark and after a certain time they collect the gum.
Nowadays the most of gum is an artificial product.

Answer 2

You cut a (or a few) gash(es) into a gum tree and scrape off the gum that builds up. It's much like maple tapping for syrup, but gum isn't as fluid.

Answer 3

grab the tree by its bark and shake hard.
then chiclets and packs of gum fall to ground.

Shake hard enough and Money will fall.

One time I shook so hard a yacht fell on my head.

good luck
