Eucommia ulmoides (Hardy Rubertree)

 

 

Little known tree that deserves a lot more attention. Best characteristic is glossy leaves which shimmer in the wind. The only cold tolerant rubber producing tree. If a leaf is torn it will ooze a milky latex that turns to rubber. Makes a great shade tree. Very unique.
