Thanks for showing the sap difference. I have a young tree in the backyard that is probably norway maple

[@devmeistersuperprecision4155]

That white sap suggests that you can’t tap it! If so, you cannot make syrup. So cut it out!

Great video! One question raise to mind tho, can Norway maple trees hybridize with the sugar maple trees? 🤔

[@ProductiveRecreation]

That I don’t know.

[@mountaingoat2866]

very informative well done

[@denverbasshead]

Great video! They grow in Kentucky?

[@ProductiveRecreation]

I think they could. Not sure what the current range is. Unfortunately they had been planted as landscape trees in many places. They’re pretty trees, split nice and make great firewood, but are a problem for our native species.

@@ProductiveRecreation I looked them up more, Yea they go down to South Carolina. Yea they were ornamentals that went wild like most invasives.
