I was reading a while ago that there are some sugar maples that produce 50% more sugar than others, do you buy grafted plants or grown from seed? Unfortunately I dont live in a climate they enjoy so I cant grow them...

These are all in the wild natural growth. Hard maple produces more than soft maple and is more flavorful and we have hard maple.

Is all fresh maple syrup the same? I have tried this as a kid and I think I preferred the store bought. If it’s different maybe I should try some...

I can’t wait! My bud is from New Hampshire and his parents make maple syrup not a big operation but anyhow he brought some back few yrs ago and gave us a 1/2 gal jug it was some the best syrup I ever had. I’m sure this stuff will be just as Good!
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.
