Hi Jim,

I don't think that we should start being fussy about only posting "fruit" 
stuff now!  

I for one would love to read anything you have time to write on the in's and 
out's making maple syrup (really any topic, I love to read your posts!) and I 
doubt I am alone in this.  I'm hoping, in about 30 years :o), to start making 
my own manitoba maple syrup from our shelterbelt trees and can use all the 
advice I can get.

I've also seen some sugar maple trees (I forget their name, started with a V 
maybe??) offered for sale up here and am wondering if anyone out there is 
growing them in a zone 3.

Sarah Zone 3b, AB
