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.
How to Tap. Select a tree for tapping. Sugar maples, also known as rock maples, are best, but other maples â and even other kinds of deciduous trees â can be used. The tree should be healthy, eight inches or more in diameter, and ideally have a widespread crown. Drill a hole in the tree 2 and Â½ inches deep, holding the drill at a slight upwards angle.
