Occurrence
The birdseye maple, also named sugar maple is the most important maple species in North America and grows there in the eastern part, from Newfoundland to the Gulf of Mexico.
Characteristic and wood color
The sapwood is light coloured, almost white, while the heartwood is light reddish to reddish brown. It has a beautiful lustre and usually a very decorative grain.
Birdseye burl wood is much sought after for the production of high-quality veneers.
The well-known maple sugar is extracted from the sap of the tree. In late winter the trees are drilled so that the sap runs out. A medium-sized tree produces about 50 litres of sap per year, from which 1 kg of sugar is extracted by thickening it.
