yes, all trees do produce sap. you have to think of sap as the blood of a tree. the sap is found just under the bark of the tree. the sap flows up the tree to nourish the tree. you will not find the active flowing sap in the hard wood of the tree. this is why if you cut a thin line of bark around the base of the tree, the sap would not be able to flow up to the leaves and branches and will not be able to nourish itself and will whither and die. different types of trees have other types of sap such as latex but all trees have sap. only maple trees produce sap for maple syrup.
