anybody want maple buds?

[seven]

Taking down a good sized maple today and figured the buds could be a nice snack. So far I've collected a decent boxful, but there is much, much more coming down soon. I'd be more than happy to share; no way my boys will get through this all!

Maple buds are a very nutritious natural food source for tree squirrels; at bud break free calcium is at its highest, as are other nutrients.

Wish I was closer! We don’t have many maple trees around here. The squirrels here may not know what to do with them....at first. :rotfl

I would happily mail them to you guys! I'm always sending packages out to people, so I don't mind a couple more

We have Maples in N. Alabama but not budding out here yet>
What kind of Maple are they?
Getting any leaves on yet?
Very nice gesture of you!

It's a silver maple, no leaves yet, just the red buds right now. My little guys love them, so I figured why see them go to waste.

I've been collecting what I can in between dropping and cutting the limbs, so this is what I've got so far, but still more coming today. Feel free to pm me addresses or comment and I'll make a list of everyone who wants some!

Wow...Ohio has maple buds already? Actually I should go check our maples, too...

[Mel1959]

I received a box of these buds, thank you seven! Unfortunately, my Florida squirrels don’t realize they’re a “delicacy”. They won’t touch them! :shakehead:shakehead:rotfl

We had a strange warm spell right after the winter storms, I'm wondering if that confused the plants lol. There are daffodils and stuff coming up already too!
