While fondling a couple big banana flowers & blossoms, I couldn't help but notice that the critters were dripping sap all over the leaves below them, with some long droplets making "strings" from the blossom ends.
The little bees & other assorted fans of sweet drippings were visiting steadily, which makes me wonder: "Can ya make syrup outta the stuff?"
The sap (coming from the flowers & blossoms) seems sweeter than maple sap, so it looks like there should be adequate quality, if not quantity.
Just gotta figure out how to harvest the stuff without messing up the plant, so I don't think I'll be tapping the critters using any of the "usual" maple & birch sap collecting techniques.
What ya think??? ;)
