We have maple trees and black walnut trees, but can we tap from Catalpa trees?
Thanks

I live in the P.N.W. where we have wild hazelnuts growing on the property as well as big leaf maple. Wondering about the hazelnuts and if they can be tapped?

In reply to Jennifer B.. Actually, yes! Well, officially in the tropics, they lance the bloom of the palm tree and make delicious syrup. But I've talked with many folks in the PNW and in the US south who have successfully tapped when there is extreme weather fluctuations (noticed on the barometer), during the right windows of the year.

We live in Houston, TX (Zone 9b) where pine and oak are the main trees in suburbia (and surrounding areas). But even if we had a maple (they’re sparse here), we don’t make the temp guidelines. I’m curious if anyone has figured out how to tap in the tropical climate zones.

Interesting! I definitely need to dig into this more. Maple syrup can be so expensive so I’d love to learn how to tap trees and make my own.

I live in Italy and have a yard full of chestnut trees. Is it possible to tap them for syrup?

In reply to Robin Harper. I too have often thought how my own dad would have loved making maple syrup with our family. Bitter sweet memories... <3

I am new to being interested in this particular old ways of homesteading/way of life. I have made molasses with my father many times and have precious memories of those times, I only wish he was here with me now to probably take on something new to us in tapping Maples cause it’s one of the few things we never got to attempt on our farm.

I was so badly hoping to see pecan trees listed here, as I have a huge one in my back yard! With no other pecan trees within pollinating distance, I cannot get yummy pecans from it. I was hoping to get some syrup
