Hello everyone. What your opinion on tapping roadside trees where salt is used. I read a report from the University Of Vermont (1987) that showed salt was greater in these trees (sap) as opposed to off road. They said the trees tested were (Roadside sugars in decline vs. healthy sugar bush maples).

Thanks
John
