We invite you to visit... In 1880 the site that was to become Glenwood City was a tranquil glen (valley) in the midst of huge forests. By 1885-1890 with the coming of the railroad and the lumber mills, Glenwood was the major trading center of the area with a population of 2000.
Most people associate syrup with the maple tree, and although much of todayâs syrup does originate from the sugar maple, all species of maple can be tapped. Even better, many other trees from other genera can be tapped to extract sap, which ultimately can be turned into delicious syrup.
I just pulled a mulberry tree that sprouted this summer in my raspberry row. To my surprise it had a yellow tap root two feet â¦ deep. Had to use the loader on my tractor to pull it! Any tree with a tap root will be well established and endure drought and some abuse.
