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.
Reasons I'm asking is I just want to tap a few trees for my own use. Nothing fancy planned for NOW but I have planted 2000 hard/sugar maples 4 years ago which are starting to FINALLY grow and maybe in 10 more years will be able to start thinking about tapping them in a production application.
