Additional Information
Attributes:
The Sugar Maple tree is one of America's most loved trees. Here is a tree that lives to
serve! Perhaps it is best known for its syrup, or Syrop as the French explorers called it
when they found Native Americans enjoying this spring delight. Today, about two million
gallons of the liquid gold support an important rural industry in the United States. Its
gifts include shade and fall beauty that are unparalleled in park and home landscapes.
Finally, as one last service during its sojourn on earth, Sugar Maple as firewood has few
rivals - it splits easily, gives off an enormous amount of heat, produces few sparks, and
ends in fine, rich ashes that pioneers turned into soap but today can enrich gardens.

History/Lore/Use:
The wood of the Sugar Maple tree has always been highly valued for furniture because of
its beauty, and for products ranging from flooring to bowling pins thanks to its extreme
hardness. During the 2001 baseball season, Barry Bonds switched from the traditional Ash
wood baseball bat to one made of Maple and hit 73 home runs, a new record! In 1663,
chemist Robert Boyle informed the Europeans about the tree in the new world that produced
a sweet substance and John Smith was among the first settlers who remarked about the
Native American's sugar processing and the fact that they used the product for barter. It
has been used for medicine because of its bone-building phosphates that enhance calcium
retention.
