Sap
Do i don't think so.
Wood, nuts, fruit, sap
It means wood or tree sap
Tree sap and rotten wood
Yes. Their sap is what maple syrup is made of.
Normally soft wood would burn fastest. It actually depends on the density of the wood and the amount of pitch or sap still held by the wood. For instance, soft woods such as pin and cedar, when very dry, burn very fast. However, English brown oak, a hard wood will burn as fast or faster than pine. Balsa, also technically a hardwood, burns very fast. The denser the wood, the slower the burn.
Taking a crossection of a tree trunk, since trees grow progressively in concentic rings added to the outside, that part of the wood nearest the centre is the oldest. It is close grained and, because it is in the middle, is called heart wood. The sap wood is the outer, newer layers which are of more open grain and softer.
ٍSap comes from the stem of the maple tree.Maples are important as source of syrup and wood. Dried wood is often used for the smoking of food.The Sugar maple is tapped for sap, which is then boiled to produce maple syrup or made into maple sugar or maple taffy.
I think so, i just put a piece of wood in my fire, and sap started rising up on the top & burned pretty well.. and I'm pretty sure pine sap is flammable. I'm going to say yes, sap is flammable.
