Maple Syrup listings

There are NO maple syrup farms, orchards, plantations or sugarworks in England, Wales and Scotland. Sugar maple (Acer saccharum) is also known as the hard maple, rock maple, sweet maple and black maple. Sugar Maple trees are native to the Great Lakes area of North America and north into southern Canada. Sugar maples grow well in the northwest of the U.S. as well as western provinces of Canada, but at present, there are no commercial maple syrup operations in those areas, save one in Washington State.

The sugar maple tree will still grow further south, but would not produce enough sap to map maple syrup production commercially feasible. But the Sugar Maple does make an excellent ornamental tree, since the sugars in the sap help to produces ;leaves that make beautiful Fall colors each Autumn. And the wood from sugar maple is very hard which makes it an excellent choice for hardwood flooring, paneling, furniture, kitchen butcher blocks and even some musical musical instruments.

So, while you won't find a maple syrup farm in ; you can enjoy the beauty of maple trees each Autumn.

And if you are looking for local maple syrup, you might want local honey! Unlike maple syrup, it has health benefits, such as helping with allergies. There are many Apiaries, local honey beekeepers producing local honey in England, Wales and Scotland. See LocalHoneySources.org for one near you!
