Maple Tree Growth Cycle Management

It takes about 40 liters of maple sap to produce 1 liter of maple syrup. Its yield is very low, so it is very precious. A large tree over 30 cm produces about 10-30 pounds of oil a month, while a small tree within 20 cm produces about 5-10 pounds a month.

Temperature management : The suitable growth temperature for maple trees is generally between 13-15 degrees, not exceeding 35 degrees. Place it in a slightly diffused light or shaded place.
