Rubber tree east view (Ficus elastica (Assam Rubber))

It is not possible to go into this lot because the fences. To take this photo I parked on Mall parking land and climbed the fence base. From this view is possible to have an idea about its size.

Aleyna:

Very good documentation on one of the true wonders of the Plant Kingdom (Ficus).

I'm assuming by looking at this photo that this tree is at least 65 feet/ 21 meters tall and has an even wider spread?

Delonix:
The building next to the tree has 7 floors, plus the water plus the water box place... 21 meter is a good estimation.
The branches are such long they oustand to the ground, unfortunatelly I'm not good enough to take a picture. without someone standing under the branches, which could give you an idea about the room under those branches.

This tree sounds like it closer to 25 meters tall. I know they can grow to more than 30 meters tall in it's native habitat. The tallest trees in San Diego, CA. - I've seen were close to 80 feet/ 25 meters tall...they were most likely very old trees.

Family is making fun of me....
There is a bigger tree right in the midle of the city and you can walk around if I feel so...
I cross the street where the tree is placed, everyday these last 20 years... never noticed ...
LOL!!!!
Living in a rain forest climate make us miss the beauty we have around...doh!
