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.
We have one old tree that is hollow and had one tap in it last year and 2 this year. It doesn't produce a lot of sap, but you can have healthy trees that don't produce much too. The first hole we drilled this year was 2 inches and that was too deep, went all the way through, but still has some sap coming out. I have a tree my cousin wanted tapped and half of one side is rotted away and the one tap on the good side is producing as well as his other trees.
