If you get the Brix high enough that it doesn't ferment you don't have maple syrup you have a locally adapted biological innoculant for maple trees. That's so expensive to buy because I just made the idea up and I am not as young as I used to be so it taken literally decades to come to that thought. 💸🫠💸

Now I am not a sugar maple expert but I would assume the basic biology is the same across all Acer's though- I think the north american ones evolved without worms so it might need to be tested/researched a bit. However if you found it helped on Japanese maples you have a whole bunch of Bonsai enthusiasts and landscape gardeners to sell to. Japanese maple prices are frankly insane.

That's a great idea! Do you know people that are looking for a product like that? I have no idea how to find anyone.

Being on a different continent has it's drawbacks! I don't think anything I suggest with regards to that will do you much good. It's an area that you will be seeing more of very soon and that's what I will be doing here in England in the coming years.

What I will do if you don't mind is to throw the idea out to people on my course. There are lots of people from all over the U.S doing it and hopefully someone will be near to you and might have some ideas or we could atleast watch a video of it under the microscope.
