No way.  Maples grow fast and when you cut them the stumps come back with a vengeance.  Vine maples of all species can take over like forest thugs.

Why are leftsts always so panicky?  Do you people think paranoia serves any good purpose?  After all, paranoia is only a leftist thing and that makes you real dumb.

No way is right.  I have more maples on my Pennsylvania property than I know what to do with.

Maples grow anywhere.  Cracks in the sidewalk, window planters, ANYWHERE!

If there is one species of tree left after root blight has killed off everything else that is pretty to look at we will still have maples.

Maple trees shall not go extinct. We need it for our pancakes.

:>  Used to have to take in to consideration time of year and sap flow in trees for precise mass equals brass  <platinum really> calculations.  <:

Then why the heck is maple syrup so dog gone expensive?

I think maple syrup is so expensive because of the long process and the length of time to reduce the water content. I have done it. If I remember right reduction of 12 or 14 gallons of what is extracted from the tree yields approximately maybe between I and 2 gallons of syrup.

Also,if you noticed the weird winter this year---the weather got too warm too fast--to make maple sap flow you need warm days and cold nights.  It made the season way shorter than normal this year because the nights were too warm.  Nothing wrong with the trees, just the abnormally high temperatures.
