Do your tree's have a nickname?

[Sinzibuckwud]

Just wondering if anybody else had nicknames for tree's that they tap? Going to the same tree's year after year a few have received nicknames from myself or my son. It's kinda like meeting an old friend you haven't seen in a while when we come to them out tapping. A few of ours are Big Red, Sap Cow, Gnarly, and Two Seater to name a few. Definitely something fun to do with the kids, they always get pumped up to see how much Sap Cow's got it it's bucket!

I have two maples that are huge. The trunks are almost as wide as my truck. Tecumseh and General Sherman respectively.

Our kids named the trees (we started when they were 3&5) and the names would reflect the location in the woods or some reference point. Single trees had names, 2 trees together were had the suffix "twins", and 3 or more tight together were "group of (#). We had 325 at the peak of the operation; most had names.

Some were: hemlock hill, clothesline corner, french drain, upper and lower garden grove, ash loop, dog patch, lower 40, sunny corner, sunny corner twins, and the list goes on.

Good times and good memories. (sniff)

Ha, 3-4000 taps??? That is a lot of names to come up with if you continue with this tradition....

I've got the super tree, mini me and the ugly tree as some of mine. Only trees that are special for one reason or another get named because it would be too hard to name them all. Mainlines and sections of woods get named so that they can be easily referred to when tapping and making repairs.

Got one called “The General”
He’s 52” in diameter and by far the largest on the place.

Then there’s the squirrel tree. Every year, without fail…

The rest get sporadic, temporary names based upon whether I’ve been struck by, slapped by or tripped over branches, fallen in to or out of them and from what altitude.
Those names, I assure you, aren’t fit to print.

Hahaha
I save those names for the beech tree's, got em on the run this summer. spent a lot of time in the bush taking out the face slappers.

We have nicknames for areas of the bush as well, cold hole, goat path, big hill 1 & 2, stream side, skidder rd and fox run.
Definetly can't name all the tree's but I think it's cool certain tree's have "something" about them that is special enough to be given a name.

[maple flats]

No names for mine.

Tweegs, that's funny. You chasing the squirrels up the trees to get the altitude?

Our 7% trees get names. Usually holy s..t.
