Trimmed for better airflow. Hard to believe we got half a truck load of chips out of it 😲🌳🪾

Had some help from Ortlieb Crane & Equipment Ltd. to remove a tree growing into a fence. A bit different from our usual removals, but always a joy to work with Dave and his crane 🌳🏗️

Did you know there are 128 species of maple in the world? And you can actually get sap from all of them! The sugar concentration will vary, however, from one type to another, which is why we only tap a few of them.

The most common maple to make syrup from, with the highest sugar content is -you guessed it- sugar maples! A hard maple with a sap sugar concentration level typically between 2-4%.

Other commonly tapped maples include Black Maple (sugar concentration typically 2-2.5%), Red Maple (sugar concentration typically 1.5-2.5%), and Silver Maple (sugar concentration typically 1.5-3%).

So the next time you head over to your local farmer's market to top up on your favourite sweet delight, why not ask the farmer what type of maples he's got on tap?
