Some sugar maple seeds for New Brunswick?

Hello,

We're in NB, and have a fair bit of wooded land. To my chagrin, all of our maples that I've seen so far seem to be red maples, not a single sugar one in sight... They're still making sap (being tapped as I type), but it sure would be nice to start a sugar maple grove. Would anyone have a stand of sugar maples near them and would be up for sending some seeds in regular post? I'm not sure what I can offer back (except for red maple seeds ), but if there's something specific you want, ask away, maybe I can get it...

Thanks!

Sorry, I don't have seeds, but I too want to plant a sugar maple grove in the near future. In the meantime I've been tapping any old maple I can with excellent results. Even what I was told was a "Manitoba maple" by a neighbor, who also informed me I was wasting my time.

My brother and I designed and built a rocket stove evaporator that is showing some very promising results. It gets rediculously hot. I'll have to post some pics or videos after more testing.

Thanks! We're off-grid, so electricity is free (and no added CO2!), if it's sunny out So we just use a nice heavy-bottom pot on an induction burner outside of our house. The red maples do work quite well so far, but I'll keep dreaming about my sugar grove!

Fun winter in NB, eh.

I'll confirm the "any maple will do". What I wanted to add is, immediately after the maples slow down, stick your taps on birch wich should start flowing just a little later.

I don't mean to hijack, but Ross, have you done the birch syrup? I've heard the ratio is like 100/1 and it tastes like molasses. I like molasses, but 100/1 seems like a lot of work.
