Re: Out of Control (sayings for Robyn)




At spring time, the sap streams upward to the branches of all trees,  to nourish new leaves and new growth
mostlty between bark and wood, with a gowth of new wood,
this makes the bark quite loose and easy to remove:
that's when you tap mapple to produce sirup aso..
