      Honestly that would be a great investment if you’re living solo. A single maple tree can produce enough sap in a year to make a half gallon of syrup, which is more than enough for one person in a year.

    pro-tip: tapping from a branch helps protect the tree from infection! if the branch gets infected/infested at your tapping point, the tree can isolate the limb and drop it off. if you tap the trunk, you leave the tree defenseless against pathogens and bugs. remember, these are living beings with immune systems. we can have more sustainable harvests by keeping things like this in mind. :)

    Yes, you can drink the sap directly from the trees -- but it'd be like drinking maple water. The slightest whisper of maple flavour / sweetness, but almost entirely water.
    In case anyone's wondering, starting sap to final syrup is a 40 to 1 ratio (meaning, for simplicity's sake, let's say you want a gallon of syrup. You'll need 40 gallons of sap to boil down, as the water content is so high. Most healthy maples can give you around 10 gallons of sap -- so you don't need many maple trees, just a lot of their sap).

      @glenngriffon8032 11 місяців тому +1049

      Don't forget that if you want to make syrup you have to carefully boil off the water at a very carefully controlled temperature so as to reduce the volume but not burn the sap. Also do it outdoors or everything in your home will get covered in a thin sticky residue.

      @@pwokus From what I can tell on Google, it seems like trees can be tapped for years in a row, (during the right season), without any issue. It seems like what can really hurt the tree is having multiple taps in one tree. From what I can tell, (and I could be wrong), it seems like the tree continuously produces sap faster than the slow drip feed you get from a single tap.

    I remember my thrill in my youth when we tapped our woods in Ohio in the 50s. All our buckets would be co-opped with our neighbors and boiled collectively to share equipment. It was easy to measure what percentage each contributor would get. We would often drizzle the hot sugar syrup in newly fallen snow to make squiggly candies! It wasn't until I moved to the west coast that I found out black walnut also makes a remarkably unique syrup.

    Growing up in Northern PA I would play around a large 100 year old Sugar maple, we had a swing hung from one of the branches... I remember many years when I was a kid it would be so loaded with sap that certain knuckles of the tree would actually start dripping sap. I was a kid and knew it was how maple syrup was made so I caught a few drops and tasted it... in it's raw form it was almost just sugar water. I was surprised at how clean and sweet it tasted.

    I sawed a branch off of a dirty birch tree in our backyard one spring, and for a couple of days that nub flowed like a faucet! I should have tried to see how much sap i could capture, but I really wasn't expecting it. I did end up drinking some of it straight from the tree, and it wasn't that bad at all, I'd definitely consider that in a survival situation.

    Its a Harvest that requires a great deal of attention in slowly boiling off the water content from the many gallons of sap.
    I have offered to go and help in the boiling off process for the years that Ive received their Amazing Harvest. I use the mason jar of Maple Syrup sparringly.
    Instead of using it at 100% Pure, what Ive done that helps to stretch out this Sweet Harvest is to buy Maple Table Syrup with 15% Real Maple Syrup and then I add about 10% more Pure Maple Syrup to it.
    This helps to improve the taste of Maple Table Syrup by bring the Pure Maple Syrup content up to 25% Pure Maple Syrup in each Bottle of Maple Taple Syrup.
