We actually have a small vestige of native Big Tooth 
Maples left in our canyon from glacial days that give us 
some occasional fall color. I'm sure they look like mere 
shrubs compared to what you have up north. The majority 
are in a state park aptly named "Lost Maples" but I have a 
large one right outside my kitchen door. I've often 
wondered if I could tap it to make syrup--can anyone tell 
me if our relatively temperate weather here would hinder 
the collection of enough sap to make syrup?
