What part of the vascular system of Acer sacrum the sugar maple tree would one tap to make maple syrup?
To make maple syrup from the sugar maple tree (Acer saccharum), one taps into the xylem, which is the vascular tissue responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots to the leaves. During late winter and early spring, when temperatures fluctuate above and below freezing, the sap flows from the xylem and can be collected through the tap. The collected sap is then boiled down to concentrate the sugars and produce syrup.
What are the raw materials used to produce sugar other than sugar cane?
Sugar beets (Beta vulgaris) is the most common one in the US. You could say that the sugar maple tree (Acer saccharum) is another, since maple syrup is fairly common and has a high concentration of sugar, but it does not get refined into granulated sugar.

What saps can be used to make syrap?

What are the difference between imitation maple syrup and pure maple syrup?
The artificial maple syrup is made from sugars of one type or another such as cane, beet, or corn syrup and is flavored artificially. There are both regular and sugar free "syrups". Real Maple Syrup is made by boiling down approximately 50 gallons of sap from the Sugar Maple or Hard Maple tree to make one gallon of Maple Syrup. Sap to syrup, nothing added, just 49 gallons of water taken away. The sap must be collected in the early spring when it is above freezing during the day and below freezing at night. Maple syrup is made in many of the New England states as well as Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and other northern states and parts of Canada. Because of the intense labor involved, real Maple Syrup costs $12-$15 a quart.
Does a locust tree have sugar in it?
Sugar is a product made from sugar cane or sugar beets so no, it is not in a locust tree, but the sap of a locust may seem sweet, I would advise against tasting it though, it is not one of the trees used to make syrup like the maple, and some locust trees can be poisonous.
