10 or more $ 15 each, 100 or more $12 each
Our Sweet Sap is a special selection of Acer saccharinum that
produces sap with a sugar coefficient of 3 to 5%. (Sugar maples run
about 2 to 2.5%.) The advantage to the syrup maker is less time
collecting, hauling and boiling down sap. Silver maples will grow on
wetter soils than sugar maples and they are much faster growers,
becoming tappable in 8 to 10 years. They are also tolerant of clay
soils. Discovered in Canada by Cedric Larson , and propagated via
tissue culture.
