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.
As mentioned above, other trees (such as birch trees) are tapped. 1  Coconut nectar (a.k.a., coconut syrup) - nectar collected from the coconut blossom sap. Tastes similar to toffee.  Coconut Sugar - coconut blossom sap boiled down till it crystalises.
Frankincense is tapped from the scraggy but hardy trees by slashing the bark, which is called striping, and allowing the exuded resin to bleed out and harden. These hardened resins are called tears. There are several species and varieties of frankincense trees, each producing a slightly different type of resin.
