How to obtain birch tree sap
Making an incision in the branches or trunks of birch one gets the “birch sap”.
This sap must be obtained at the end of winter, during the month of March before the leaves appear. It has been shown that well-established specimens can be drawn up to 7 liters in a single day, although it is common to get 4.
Then the wound should be coated with a scar paste so that the tree will not get sick. It is recommended to change the tree each time, so as not to undermine each tree health.
