LOL--that is funny. Exploding maple trees. I could just see the streets lined with bark-shrapnel. Car alarms going off, house windows shattered, dogs and cats running for cover.

Ha. I don't think so. If that were the case, think of all the exploding trees we'd have in the world...heck!...in my own front yard!! But I do believe once you've tapped a maple tree, you are suppose to continue tapping it. Sorry, but not sure where I heard that or what the reasoning behind it is. I think...just me guessing here...is that once it has lost some of it's sap due to the tapping process, it works harder to create more?? Something like that.

Yes. Haven't you ever been to a forest where everything was covered in sap? That's because there weren't any people around to tap the trees. Obviously maple trees were made for the sole purpose of producing sap for us to make into syrup.

Certainly not. The tree sap is for our benefit,not for the tree's comfort and well-being. Trees manage just fine without our help.
The maple trees are gorgeous though at the time of the "change" and if you've never tried maple sugar candy you definitely should. The version from Vermont is my favorite!
