Sugar Maple Sapling - Pre-order now for May delivery or pickup

Boasting brilliant fall colors of yellow, orange, and red, the sugar maple is a beloved tree in America. It holds a significant place in history as well, with chemist Robert Boyle first informing Europeans about the tree in the new world that produced a sweet substance in 1663.

The Native Americans were already well aware of this and used the sap for barter, while also using the inner bark to make a tea to treat coughs and diarrhea. Over time, the sugar maple proved to have many uses, including making soap from its ashes, using the bark as a dye, drinking the sap as a spring tonic, and taking the syrup for liver and kidney problems.
