| | | silver birch with sap still flowing
was clearing birch today and noticed that the sap was still flowing at a fair rate, it was dripping out of the branch cut sites
it was also a very warm day in yorkshire here today that enabled working out in a tee shirt |

That sounds very unusual, I have missed our Oct & Nov work party's because of the extended fungi season so don't know if Birch sap is still flowing in Suffolk.
Were you still able to poison the stumps or does the rising sap make this a waste of money ? (meaning you have 3 times as much growth to cut in a few years time !)

they are not being treated, they will be allowed to regrown and then get felled again in a couple of years, in other areas some of the stumps created in the last week have been treated, but today was the first day where the sap was fast flowing from many trees |

Birch sap doesn't taste sweet to me, almost of nothing - watery. Too late for Lammas sap methinks but intersting all the same. | | |
