Perhaps it is best known for its syrup, or Syrop as the French explorers called it when they found Native Americans enjoying this spring delight. Today, about two million gallons of the liquid gold support an important rural industry in the United States. Its gifts include shade and fall beauty that are unparalleled in park and home landscapes.

The wood of the Sugar Maple tree has always been highly valued for furniture because of its beauty, and for products ranging from flooring to bowling pins thanks to its extreme hardness. During the 2001 baseball season, Barry Bonds switched from the traditional Ash wood baseball bat to one made of Maple and hit 73 home runs, a new record! In 1663, chemist Robert Boyle informed the Europeans about the tree in the new world that produced a sweet substance and John Smith was among the first settlers who remarked about the Native American's sugar processing and the fact that they used the product for barter. It has been used for medicine because of its bone-building phosphates that enhance calcium retention.

The oldest sugar maple in Canada is the "Comfort Tree" located in North Pelham, Ontario. It is said to be over 500 years old and measures 20 feet around its trunk.

Maple Tree Comments, Facts, Reference, Trivia

Maple Syrup

Maple Syrup: Maple tree sap starts running as the spring warmer weather approaches and the sun is higher in the sky. Tapping into the sugar maple tree species produces a clear watery sap with a light woody taste. This is collected in sap pails hung on the trees.

The spout which is inserted into the tree when tapping maple trees for sap is called a spile.

Commerial sap manufacturers use a gravity based pipe system which save the problems with sap loss due to over flowing pails and the need to collect the sap at least one or two times a day.

Maple sap is gathered and poured into an evaporator where the sap is boiled down into a thicker sweeter pourable syrup. Maple syrup is then packaged into a variety of container sizes for sale.

Maple Syrup: Sugar maples can reach a tappable size in approximately 40 years. A maple tree can produce 12 litres of sap per day in the spring. The maple sugaring season lasts approximately 6 weeks. Did you know? It takes forty gallons of clear watery sugar maple tree sap to produce one gallon of maple syrup.

Maple Tree: Maple shape is a little like a lollipop, round top on a tree trunk. The maturing tree provides nice open space for grass and garden areas underneath with great shade on hot summer days.

Maple Planting: Maple tree can grow quite tall and wide. If planted in the middle of a 50 feet wide house lot, a mature maple can easily consume the total width of one's lot, over time, plus hide most of a good looking house from the street.

Recommended that one consider not planting their new maple tree too close to the house and consider offsetting the maple to the side lot line. This maybe to your neighbors future dislike, as leaves will blow and fall on their property in Autumn

Japanese Maple

Maple Tree Landscaping: Top choice is the Japanese maple tree. Blood red Japanese maple has very deep dark red leaves during the summer and are wonderfully bright red in the fall when the sun shines through the leaves. Landscape set up as primary tree focal point in a flower bed or as a stand alone tree highlite.

Norway Maple Planting: The norway maple tree species is a fast growing maple tree, thus, great for landscaping projects for a large future shade tree. As the norway maple matures, it can produce a large volume of seeds in the Autumn requiring possible clean up. In spring, fallen seed pods readily sprout and grow. This can be a nuisance especially around gardens, as it is like pulling out a lot of extra weeds.

Maple Tree Trivia:

Maple Trees produce seeds in spring which are often called maple keys. The wings enable them to be blown great distances by the wind. New maple trees can grow from these seeds.

The maple leaf is the national symbol of Canada and appears on the Canadian flag. The maple tree was officially proclaimed the national arboreal emblem of Canada on April 25, 1996.

The maple tree is known for its beautiful fall colors when its leaves turn from green to red, yellow and golden orange.

The Paperbark maple is best known for its beautiful exfoliating cinnamon-colored bark and stunning orange-red autumn colors.

The sycamore maple is Europe's largest maple tree.

The Sugar Maple is the state tree of New York, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

Woodpeckers can cause a lot of damage to maple trees. The holes provide access for disease and insects which may damage and eventually lead to the death of the tree.

Japanese maples are the smallest maple tree variety measuring from 6 to 25 feet at maturity. Japanese maple trees are a popular tree for crafting into bonsai trees.
