We invite you to visit... In 1880 the site that was to become Glenwood City was a tranquil glen (valley) in the midst of huge forests. By 1885-1890 with the coming of the railroad and the lumber mills, Glenwood was the major trading center of the area with a population of 2000.
Most people associate syrup with the maple tree, and although much of todayâs syrup does originate from the sugar maple, all species of maple can be tapped. Even better, many other trees from other genera can be tapped to extract sap, which ultimately can be turned into delicious syrup.
In fact, the sapwood of this tree is quite distinct from the heartwood or the central wood of the tree that is reddish-brown in color having an orange-brown or pinkish-brown shade. The wood of Calophyllum inophyllum (tamanu nut tree) is considered to be a good timber for all general purposes.
