Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I think your technique is the best i have seen so far whereby posibility of harming the tree is quite low, particularly using pine resin to closing the wound is a brilliant idea.
Done this myself last week myself, but like your less invasive technique way better. Learnt something new today. Thanks for sharing. Would you perhaps do a video sometime in the future on the river cattails, roots etc best time to forage them and so on? Many Thanks P
Great video, very informative. I'm wondering, apart from Birch, Maple and Walnut, are there any other species of tree in the UK that can be harvested for edible sap? Is there a comprehensive list?
This channel has been the best for me because you have a simple way of explaining things. Thanks 👍
Thanks 😊

We did this the last week it was amazing , using a branch not the main tree trunk.
This I a very well made video thank you so much you have simplified this
Thanks mate 😁
thank you for these videos!
You're welcome 😁
I had great.success with a ball point pen lid, it's almost perfect shape for it
You can tap any Birch tree, White or Paper, Yellow and Black.
I gather you can also ferment the sap and make birch sap wine.
Yeah I’ve not tried it myself but apparently it works well
Amazing video
Thanks 😊
belting video
Thanks 😊
Been thinking about doing this for years now and never got ‘round to it.
Yeah give it a go. Not long left this year though!
Thank you so much going to go get some sap tomorrow if can get out many thanks ❤️
You're welcome. Have you tried it before?
No I haven't I'll have a go tho
Really lovely video and something I've been doing lately. Do you know how much we can drink at once?
Thanks 😊. I’m not sure how much we can drink, I’m sure it wouldn’t be toxic to consume a few litres a day. Just no more than a few litres per tree
@@UKWILDCRAFTS many thanks 😊
Thanks for this video
You’re welcome 😆
You mention to put resin on the wound, can you tell us where to get it?/ Show us. Thanks
👍
Does the tree need to a certain age to get sap
As long as it's not a sapling it's fine. I find the older and thicker the trunk, the better the yield
Why my birch sap is brown?
Ah yeah that can happen, normally if it’s brown after a half litre or so it clears up
Live the Mora
Yep Mora are great. Have several of their knives

Hate seeing young unexperienced arborist teams leaving thease lady's bleeding out this time of year.
