permaculture

[Xavier Dequaire <xavier@futurich.com>]

At spring time, the sap streams upward to the branches of all trees,  to 
nourish new leaves and new growth
mostlty between bark and wood, with a gowth of new wood,
this makes the bark quite loose and easy to remove:
that's when you tap mapple to produce sirup aso..
