Maple tree roots.

[SPIKER]

i think i killed a maple tree this year, by using roundup around the base, after i had mowed and cut the surface roots: i made the mistake of planting sugar maples over 20 years ago, and they look nice in the fall, but the roots are a son of a gun to mow over/around...next time, as if there will be a next time, i'll plant bradford pare trees instead..
heehaw

Don't know who many trees you planted but are you making syrup with them???


I started making maple syrup 3 seasons ago, lots of hard work doing it my way (all by hand pretty much on low volume production ~3 gallons this year!)

but I can honestly say I LOVE making my own syrup and it tastes best I ever had! I FIRE mine using wood and learn that the WOOD adds some flavoring and made 1 batch this year with popular which tasted not as good as the previous batches...
