Sappy Story
Posted by marybeth balog on April 20, 2006
Q: What is sap?
A: Basically, sap is sugar water. The sap in a tree has a small amount of sugar in it as food for the tree plus some nutrients. If you've ever cut a branch from a tree or shrub and noticed that it "bled" a clear liquid - that's sap. Hope this answers your question.
