Naturally Speaking

When temperature and sunlight are favorable in February, maple tree sap begins to flow in a tree's wood, just inside the bark.  If there is a natural or drill-made port, sap comes out of the tree and may become an icicle as temperatures drop.  With about 4 percent sugar, sap does not freeze as quickly as pure water freezes.
