English walnut trees can be tapped successfully, especially when subjected to a freezing winter and spring. Paper birch (Betula papyrifera) The paper birch has a lower sugar content than sugar maple (less than 1%), but is the sweetest of the birch trees.
Several genera of conifers produce resin in copious quantities, which are then harvested and put to a wide variety of uses. These have made resin one of the most important non-wood products from conifers. The following sections describe some of the more important sources and uses of conifer resins.irtually all pines will yield resin if tapped. Key factors that determine feasibility for tapping are the quality (terpene content) and quantity of resin obtained. Today, only the diploxylon (hard) pines are commercially tapped.
