Tapping Sycamore Trees for Syrup Platanus occidentalis Even if you only have a few, the sap can be mixed in with the sap of other tappable trees. The general rule of thumb is that it takes 40 parts maple sap to produce 1 part maple syrup. This translates into 40 gallons of sap to produce 1 gallon or syrup or 10 gallons of sap for one quart of syrup.
This estimate is dependent on the sugar content of your sap. Usually about 40 gallons of sap are required to produce one gallon of finished syrup.

Black pecan aphids cause more damage to the tree than the yellow aphid complex.
They cause yellow, angular, chlorotic spots between leaf veins, which can lead to defoliation in late summer. This aphid species can be found on the top and bottom of the leaves. Females give birth to live young in the summer and deposit eggs that overwinter on the bark of the trunk. This complex comprises the black-margined aphid and the yellow pecan aphid. The difference can be seen in the wings. Black-margined aphids hold their wings flat over their back, while yellow pecan aphids hold their wings like peaked roofs over their back.
Both species are normally found under the leaf. The best control for aphids is actually the environment itself. Aphids have many natural predators, such as lady beetles ladybugs , and they are very susceptible to changes in the weather. The lifespan of an aphid is about one month, so populations can die out quickly.
In many cases, then, the best course of action may be to simply do nothing. If further aphid control is needed, it is best to use biological and non-toxic measures.
On smaller plants, a heavy water spray can dislodge aphids. Lady beetle larvae can be introduced to the environment and can quickly reduce aphid populations.
Insecticidal soaps and other surface insecticides such as foliar sprays can also be used to interrupt the aphid life cycle. However, these measures do not control adult aphids, and so they may be ineffective once the population has matured.
