Sarah,
Those prices are ridiculous----by my standards. I used to be a nurseryman. If I remember correctly Acer saccharum IS sugar maple rather than silver maple(I grow sugarcane which is Saccharum species----hence "sugar"). I have a "yankee" acquaintance who tells me that even red maple makes good syrup----she prefers red over sugar maple syrup!
Good luck--and happy waiting! I doubt that 16 trees would make much syrup, though, frankly. Sorry, don't mean to be discouraging---I make sugarcane syrup. We get about a 7:1 cook down ration from juice to syrup--from good cane. Sorghum is grown for syrup in some parts of Canada. It cooks down about 12:1 maybe and is an annual crop.
Regards,
Richard, NW FL
