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.
For example, in Korea, people tap a maple species called Acer mono and pipe the sap from the mountains down to the village. They drink the sap but do not boil it to produce syrup. Birch trees may be tapped in Alaska and Siberia but the sap is lower in sugar content and quality than maple sap.his will vary depending on sugar content of the sap. The Rule of 86 is used to calculate the gallons of sap needed to produce one gallon of syrup. It states that the number of gallons of sap you need to produce one gallon of syrup is equal to 86 divided by the percent sugar.
