John K starts with ... So I like in western Canada, and my friend told me that the maple trees in my back yard could be tapped for syrup. I always though that it was only the eastern maples that could be used. I found this article saying that you can use western maple, as well as birch and alder! http://cooltoknow.net/Home_and_Garden/view_topic.php?id=149&topic=Tapping_your_Backyard_Trees%3A_Bigleaf_Maple%2C_Alder%2C_Birch Does anybody know what the syrup would taste like?

Steven says... Hey John. Thats really interesting, i would like to know what other types of maple trees can be used to make syrup. Ive never really looked into it but i was under the impression it was only specific varieties but i wonder if there are many different kinds of maples that can be used. I also thought the tree had to be much bigger than that! once you have tapped the tree how long does the tree drip out sap unit you have to drill a new hole? | About the Author Steven Eastern Melbourne 7th March 2011 1:26pm #UserID: 704 Posts: 325 View All Steven's Edible Fruit Trees |
