Dripping silver birch
I had two silver birch trees lopped a few weeks ago. I noticed during the
freezing weather one of them had a cap of ice on one or two occasions. Today the same tree is dripping from two of the lopped branches making the ground beneath quite wet. Is this usual? John |

It makes a very weak wine if used as is, or it can be boiled down. Maple syrup is the result of boiling away a LOT of water, and birch is the same. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
