Coming to think of it, there's a Manitoba Maple (Box elder, Keith; "Acer negundo" for those who care) on the property I own downtown. I wonder if I should try tapping it in May when the sap starts running.
BTW, they make birch syrup in Alaska. Except they usually have to add fructose to it to get it to the right consistency as birch sap has a lot less sugar in it.
Luigi Who doesn't really need to do this as he still has about a dozen cans of real maple syrup brought to him by friends visiting from down east.
