RE: Making our own maple syrup from 3 Sugar Maple Trees 🍁 🇨🇦

in CCS2 years ago

In fact, we don't have many maples. It's mostly in the city. They were planted in parks. But in the city I don't take anything from the street, neither fruits, nor mushrooms, not the sap of trees. Ecology...
and how is maple sap extracted?
An incision is made, a groove and a collection container are placed?

You drill a 1/2” hole into the tree about 4’ off the ground ….

And insert one of these taps… and hang a bucket off the tap to catch the sap ..
It just drips slowly … need perfect weather though … + 5 Celsius during the day and -5 Celsius at night

I understood... it's pretty cruel to the tree.

Yeah. Same with anything we eat… apples, carrots, peas, lettuce, tomatoes, cows, pigs we kill them all. 😂
