My name is Alicia. I think the sap starts to flow in the spring in order to
bring energy to the top of the tree so that the leaf production can begin.
The trees are dormant in the winter and with the increase in the
photoperiod, warm daily temperatures, and cold night temperatrues this
stimulates the sap to move up the tree. The maple tree needs energy to
produce new leaves for the coming summer and photosythesis to occur.

Thank you,
Alicia (Mrs. McGinley's class)
