S2Past attempts to establish sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) by planting have generally met with little success. The failures have been blamed mainly on competition by other vegetation and on damage done by animals. Finding an effective way to establish sugar maple seedlings is a key part in the research being carried on in Vermont by the USDA Forest Service to develop superior sugar maples for producing sap and sugar. In 1964 we began a small planting study with sugar maple seedling to evaluate several methods of weed control and protection from animals. The results indicated that black plastic film used as mulch provides excellent weed control for as long as 4 years, and increases growth significantly. However, the protective treatments we tried (an animal repellent and wire screens) were not entirely effective; so the full potential of the black plastic mulch treatment was masked by damage done by repeated deer browsing.

S2We developed an annual maple-syrup-production cost series for the period 1972 to 1984. We specified the physical input required for a 3,000-tap, plastic tubing with vacuum system with an oil-fired open-pan evaporator. Current value data were used to estimate the annual production cost of a gallon of syrup. Cost increased from 6.16 per gallon in 1972 to $15.93 in 1984; however, much of this increase is the result of inflation. The sugarhouse, where syrup is processed, accounted for a relatively larger share of the total cost of production in 1984 (66 percent) than it did in 1972 (53 percent). A sensitivity analysis indicated that total cost is most sensitive to changes in wages for labor and cost of fuel oil.S3

S2In the spring of 1967, a vacuum pump was installed at a sugarbush located in Underhill, Vermont. This work proceeded in two phases: an individual-tree study designed to determine if sap could be drawn out of a tree in sufficient quantities to account for large yield differences; and a large-scale study of the effects of sustained levels of vacuum on yields from a nearly commercial-size network of tubing.

Come along for a trip through maple time in Vermont, from the 1600s to the mid-twentieth century. Betty Ann Lockhart introduces the origins of the Flavor of Vermont, the tools of the sugaring trade and the personalities who launched maple sugar to world fame. The Abenakis were discoverers of the sweet sap that flowed from Vermont s trees, and Thomas Jefferson was an early promoter of it. During the Civil War, maple sugar was cheered as the moral alternative to cane sugar the latter having been produced by slave labor and in subsequent wars, it was shipped to U.S. troops around the world. Enriched with maple-inspired songs, recipes and legends, Maple Sugarin in Vermont illuminates not just the industry, but also the culture of maple sugar in the Green Mountain State."

Survival, total height, diameter at breast height (d.b.h.), and stem quality of sugar maple trees of different provenances were compared 25 years after establishment in north-central West Virginia. Provenances were from Michigan, Minnesota, West Virginia, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, and Quebec, Canada. There were significant differences between provenances for all traits except stem quality. By provenance; total tree height ranged from about 49 to 37 feet; d.b.h. from 6.7 to 3.6 inches; and survival from 100 to 15 percent. The predictability of total tree height 25 years after establishment based on mean provenance height at age 2, 6, 10, and 15 years is discussed. Results suggest that juvenile height growth may be a good predictor of mature height performance, thus decreasing the need for rotation-length trials.
