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.
As mentioned above, other trees (such as birch trees) are tapped. 1  Coconut nectar (a.k.a., coconut syrup) - nectar collected from the coconut blossom sap. Tastes similar to toffee.  Coconut Sugar - coconut blossom sap boiled down till it crystalises.
Fragrant trees. 1  The fresh needles of the European larch (Larix decidua) in Spring, a deciduous conifer, when crushed smell of freshly cut grass with a hint of pine. 2  The opening buds and young leaves of Balsam Poplar (Populus spp.) in Spring have a sweet honey or musk smell. Wood from the Sassafrass tree (Sassafrass spp.) was once a major export, second only to tobacco, from North America to Europe. An essential oil distilled from its bark is still popular today.
