Yes and its sweet!

a silver birch, only found in europe and northern europe i believe, and its only sweet water for 10 days or so in the year. Your in asia? This is like a poor substitute for a coconut haha

Yes in southeast asia ,, in aceh, indonesia. Usually we are here to pick up rubber latex on a rather similar tree like that.

Nice, I was only ever in Thailand (typical!)I know of the rubber plant that has the white rubber come out when you cut the wood? With this tree also you can get tar from it, and use it for many things for fire, by cooking the skin and it drips out. People used that tar substance to use for arrows for example as a glue covering the string holding the tip into the arrow, or also as a great mosquito repellent which you like im sure!
I have been with people who make it in huge pots on bug fires outside. Im sure there are many other uses for this tree that I dont know of also. The skin is very good for starting a fire with becuase of the tar inside.

It is true that rubber sap is white.
We do not cut trees here, but we sculpt the trees to get the sap, in our trees we usually carve about 10 to 15 holes, then rubber latex, we sell. rubber trees become one source of our life..

Yes I have seen a small rubber plant when I was young and got told off because I cut it to see if rubber came out and it did lol
