My dear child, may I know the reasons for why are you so passionate about winchester rifles and ammo--- Professor. Mohan from india
I remember where I was raised in the Finger Lakes we also had maple trees up and down our street.
Thanks for the maple tree ID info. Love you syrup!
Yummy yummy in the tummy! The song taste sweet to the ears too. I know where I'm going to.
😍
Sugar maple is preferred for syrup!
Here around Chicago, we also have the Norway maple, not native to the area, but planted extensively as street trees and in yards. They’ve fallen out of favor, for a few reasons - not the least of which is they hold their leaves until late November, so it’s getting very cold by the time they fall. My favorite tree is the sugar maple as well. Nothing is as calming and grand as a mature sugar maple in full October color.
That's kind of a bottling video. 😂I'm sure that's coming soon!
That looks amazing!!! I need some of that!
That looks so delicious
Yum😊
It was so good! My next video will be how to make it at home!
Just checked out your website..Light,Amber,Dark,Very dark ( which is very intriguing ) How do you establish the variances ?
Do you have many Black maples left in your part of New York? Down here in SE Ohio, Black maples were very common years ago and were some of the biggest trees left around here locally as I was growing up, and nowadays, they just aren't as numerous as they once were. I have not yet learned why they seemed to have been cut less than other species of maple locally. Upon reading period accounts from the years of first settlement before and after the Ohio Country achieved statehood, it was mentioned in two different journals of the large pure stands of Black maples that could be found in parts of the forest, usually adjacent to, and slightly intermixed with large, pure stands of Sugar maples. Of course , the forest had been drastically changed by my time, and I missed out on seeing that in the woods, except on the few tracts of land that had not been logged in quite a long time in my locality. Hybridization between Sugars and Blacks was(and probably still is)fairly common down this way, and may be a substantial reason as to why Black maples seem to be unfortunately disappearing locally. They are very close cousins to Sugars, usually carry the same amount of sugar, and, grain-wise are basically identical to Sugars, hard, tough and beautiful. The Black maple is yet another interesting member of a fascinating worldwide clan of trees.
My canopy is 80 ft.in the air Guess I'll have to wait for fall, or do you have a sure fire way to ID different maples purely by bark !!
Watch the video to help you identify the bark. Also look at the branching as you want it to be opposite each other, and take a pair of binos so you can still look at the leaves!
Do you need an alligator grommet where the hydraulic hose passes thru the steel frame opening?
That is cool, can you tell us how you selected the hydraulic system components? keep up the good work
Very informative video. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I look forward to your small scale operation. It is always interesting to see how others process their sap into syrup!
I’m excited to dive into the world of small scale!
I searched for this video and thank you! Turns out I have seven sugar maple trees in my backyard. Now I have to learn to tap them before the winter. I live in Ohio, USA
oh this channel has tons of videos, can anyone help me with a how to tap video link
I’ll also have lots more videos coming soon on tapping and making maple syrup specific to small scale and hobby farmers!
@@MapleFarmer that would be awesome! thank you
Nice job
Thanks!
Very interesting. Thanks for the info!
Thanks for watching!
Acer saccharum-sugar-Acer Rubrum-red-Acer saccharinum-silver. Also out west we have Acer macrophylum- the Big leaf or Oregon maple which can also be tapped-though not nearly as productive.
Really exceptional educational content. I have enjoyed this channel for a long time.
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for watching!
Great video. The only Maple tree that I would plant is the Sugar. In Illinois we also have Norway Maples. You can ID if you break a leaf off and there is white milk coming out. They are short lived weedy trees.
I almost covered the Norway but they’re not native and not as common around here, you see them more in city landscaping!
@@MapleFarmer That's OK...the less Norway's the better.
It is amazing how many do not know how to identify trees, my dad taught me this at a young age.
It’s a great skill to have! Trees, plants, birds, etc!
I’m going to check my trees, been tapping trees for a few years now and have no idea what kind they are. Purchased some of your maple syrup awhile ago and it’s delicious 👍
Check them out! I’d be curious to know what kind you’re tapping!
Awesome thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching! I hope it was helpful!
@@MapleFarmer I was very helpful. We have a chunk of property that is not very accessible and has bunch of trees that look like 40’ white oaks with maple leaves. Now I am going to go back there and check them closer and probably try my hand at syrup this year.
Oooo I hope the are maples! I can’t wait to hear!
Great to see you again. God Bless
I’m still alive! Lol
Be sure to buy their syrup, its very good.
Thank you so much!
Yesss thank you so much for this video! Appreciate it!
You're so welcome! Thank you for watching!
I failed the test about which tree you tap; I chose Red Oak... What can I say, we don't have maple trees here in Az. Fantastic video, I will be watching it again in order to try and remember how to tell them apart. Thanks!
Haha well now you know!! And you’re in AZ so I can’t fault ya!
As one of the people who requested this video, thank you for making it! Turns out there's a maple tree right outside my house. Based on your description here, it most closely matches the Silver Maple. Gonna have to go for a walk around our forested property to see if we can find a Sugar Maple. (We're in the north of Virginia.) 👍 Those seeds are super iconic. I always called them "helicopter seeds" for how they fell to the ground. 😅
That’s awesome, I’m glad it helped! I always call them helicopters also!!
When I was young I would take the helicopter seeds peel the end and pull the seed out and put them on my nose. That young woman is beautiful...
That sounds uncomfortable 😂
I just hope that there's one comment telling you how beautiful you are. Thanks for the information. I had no idea about different maple trees. Pretty cool actually.
It’s a fun hobby! And maple trees are pretty awesome!
Very Informative Nikki…. Thanks
Thanks for tuning in!
We have mainly sugar maple here in northern Wisconsin. There’s rock maple here too. Nice upload 😊
Thanks for watching! I hope you have a great season this year!
@@MapleFarmer I am upgrading this year new evaporator. Going to tap over one hundred trees this spring. I am licensed to sell this season. Should be fun.
That’s so exciting! Congrats!! You’re getting bigger and I’m going smaller 😂
@@MapleFarmer Been there before. It easier to down size. It’s fun anyway we do it☺️
excellent!
Thanks for watching Keith!
The Canadian flag is so cool, wouldn't you agree? ehh?!
It’s does have a great look! 🇨🇦
Great video and talk. Best wishes
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video Nikki! One of the simplest yet most informative videos your channel has! Thanks and happy sugaring!
I decided that this year since I’ll be tapping my own trees on a small scale it would be fun to start making educational videos about the process starting with the very beginning. During season will be a lot of the daily vlog style videos!
@@MapleFarmer That’s a great idea Nikki! Make sure you include Owen in some! Looking forward to them, thank you!
Good video 😊 I can't wait to see your small scale maple production videos. Fun fact you can use the Maple seed pods as a turkey call. Place it in your mouth like a conventional mouth call and breathe across the blade using it like a reed. Takes some practice but it's effective. Taught to me by my grandfather who said his grandfather taught him.
That’s awesome! I am going to try it, maybe you’ll hear my terrible turkey calling with a seed in a future video. Lol
@@MapleFarmer it will take some practice 🤣 The greener the seed pod the more likely they are to split, when they dry a little they become more resilient and produce a higher sound. Grab a handful, they don't last long.
Thank you ma’am.
Thank you for tuning in!
Very impressive video, keep up the awesome work you do.
Thank you!
I live up in Lewis county. We always called them helicopters too!😂👍
@@ld5954 I still do with the exception of this video 😂
You’re like a scientist
@@rudolphjackwilson7476 haha far from!
Great video Nikki. Thank you
@@bobbolieu9013 thanks for watching!
@@MapleFarmer you're welcome
Add a few gallons to slump up my guy …nobody needs to work that hard .
Yummy yummy for the tummy!
Look at that heart disease
Tastes delicious!
@@MapleFarmer you mean the seasoning does
The way you cut it though…why
I’ll have to ask the private chef why he cuts that way… 😂
