Sugar maple, Norway maple and silver maple all have extremely shallow roots, especially silver maples, which often have large, exposed roots well above the ground level. This makes it difficult to nearly impossible for grass or other plants to live underneath a silver maple tree.
First, locate your trees. The best kind of maple trees to tap are sugar maples, because they have the highest concentration of sugar in their sap. However you can tap any kind of maple tree. I recommend locating trees to tap in the summer or fall while the leaves are still on the trees.
