Maple Syrup Field Trip afterthoughts...

After spending a day at U of M, learning about the maple syrup process, feel free to comment to this posting about what you learned today or what you thought was interesting.

Some suggested questions:
1) What are the 3 B's that can help you identify a maple tree and what do you look for?

2) When can maple syrup be collected in Michigan?

3) Why did Rick say that there wasn't much maple syrup today?

4) Why were some lighter rings in the "tree cookie" larger than the darker rings?

What else interested you?

    1]The three b's are Branches Buds and Bark.
    2]February through October
    3]It was not below freezing so the trees could produce the sap.
    4]Some lighter tree rings were larger than the darker tree rings because the lighter tree rings were there longer than the darker trees.
