I have been making maple syrup since 1972 and have found some of what
Euell Gibbons said to be a bit amusing especially when he spoke of taste.
For instance, Silver Maple syrup tastes nothing like corn syrup. I tap six
species of Maple. Box Elder adds a buttery quality when blended with other
kinds.
