The sugar maple is one of the most important Canadian trees, being, along with the black maple, the major source of sap for making maple syrup. [1]
Sugar bush refers to a forest stand of maple trees which is utilized for maple syrup. This was originally an Indigenous camp set up for several weeks each spring, beginning when the ice began to melt and ending when the tree buds began to open. [1] At a traditional sugarbush, all the trees were hand tapped and the sap was boiled over wood fires.

Other maple species can be used as a sap source for maple syrup, but some have lower sugar content and/or produce more cloudy syrup than these two. [23] In maple syrup production from Acer saccharum, the sap is extracted from the trees using a tap placed into a hole drilled through the phloem, just inside the bark. The collected sap is then boiled.
