    Are the trees any good for sugaring for syrup?

      Sort of. https://practicalselfreliance.com/trees-species-tap-syrup/ She says that “Keep in mind that though it grows out west, to produce syrup you’ll need nights below freezing and daytime temperatures around 40 degrees. “

        You know I keep forgetting that temperate out where you are means something a bit different than where we are…sometimes I am just a bit too complacent in living in New England. But that will change with the climate.

          I’ll have to pay attention in the spring. We usually get some freezing weather, but the plants always surprise me. My camellia usually decides to bloom in February, when I think it’s way to dark for spring.
