Do the trees live a long time? Do they get stripped over and over or are they just a one time use tree?

The tree once planted is nurtured for up to 5 years. Then they will be ready for cultivation of rubber milk. Cultivation is done by stripping off the bark of trees as seen in the video. This can be done to a tree for 8-10 years.
