The sap often is harvested from the Sugar Maple, Acer saccharum. In some countries (e.g., Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Belarus, Russia) harvesting the early spring sap of birch trees (so called  birch juice ) for human consumption is common practice; the sap can be used fresh or fermented and contains xylitol.ylem sap consists primarily of a watery solution of hormones, mineral elements and other nutrients. Transport of sap in xylem is characterized by movement from the roots toward the leaves.
Watch out for cracks, cankers, and holes. Cankers are lesions on the branches and trunk of the tree, often circular or oval, with a sunken center and raised edges. Deep splits through the bark are also signs of possible tree failure. Be on the lookout for sap seepage, whether from a wound or other area of the tree. Sap seepage can be an indication of a bacterial infection within the tree, or damage being done to the tree by insects or birds.
