[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 721848, member: 1963"] Birch syrup supposedly tastes sort of like wintergreen. It's also loaded with salicylates (think aspirin, like willow) and more for medicinal uses. Sycamores, unfortunately, have become quite rare in many areas. The house we had in the Chicago burbs when I was a teen had a huge sycamore in the front lawn. We adored "her" and deep watered her several times a year her roots out of our drains, and fed her using the same methods. She was at least 200 years old according to the arborist who helped us care for her. I literally cried when the guy who bought the house after my dad died cut that grand old lady down because "damned tree was messing up the sewer and we weren't getting any sun on the lawn." [/QUOTE]
