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.
English walnut trees can be tapped successfully, especially when subjected to a freezing winter and spring. Paper birch (Betula papyrifera) The paper birch has a lower sugar content than sugar maple (less than 1%), but is the sweetest of the birch trees.
There are thirteen native maple species in North America (Table 3-1). While most of these species are probably tapped to some extent, at least by hobbyists, sugar and black maple, along with red maple (Acer rubrum), provide most of the commercial sap.
