I have 7 specimens here in Montana. They came in small sandwich bags from the trees at my home in Michigan. Now they are over 25' tall (4 to 6 "diameter) and I hope to check for sap in February. A guy in BC said that they don't sap here to make sugar. I refuse to believe him. I spent many days collecting and boiling down sap to get the best maple candies (maple sugar poured on the snow) to thrill with the treat. I am bent and determined to get the U.P. of Mich in my stone quarry. The darn Kewanaw Peninsula is the tough part. I redid it all today with a better Michigan mitten. Now to find the Thumb and UP!
