SILVER MAPLE. SOFT MAPLE. WHITE MAPLE. North America. The sap will make sugar of good quality but less in quantity than the sugar maple[1]. Sugar is made from this species, says Loudon[2], in districts where the tree abounds, but the produce is not above half that obtained from the sap of the sugar maple.
