geaibleu Posted March 25, 2011 Share #1 Posted March 25, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) For years, I have been wondering how the sweet sap of the sugar maple had been found by people of our First Nations. Here is an illustrated tentative explanation; At this time of year when sugaring off is in full swing, it is not uncommon to find icicles on maple trees that have nothing to do with snow or freezing rain. A logical reaction is to break them and eventually to taste them to satisfy one's normal curiosity. And wow! it is, and was, darn sweet! The rest is well known history. Hence my question to our learned friends: does this fantasy or hypothesis make any sense? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
