Is the sap of other maples suitable for maple syrup, in terms of quality

plant faster growing maples like the red and even the ugly silver maples.

What about other hardwoods for making syrup, such as fast growing red and
pin oaks, wild cherry, etc.? Jack


Blackthorn, Birch and Maple to my limited knowledge. Used to purchase
Blackthorn via Welenda SP in the past. Lost source in time.
