Paperbark Birch

Paperbark Birch, Betula papyrifera

I'm going to have ago at making Birch sap wine this year.The sap should be collected in early March whilst it is still rising.I just need to find a tree I can bore a hole in about 1"-2" deep, around 4ft off the ground and then place a tube or something similar in the hole and allow the sap to run down. Then put a suitable container underneath and allow to fill. The hole will heal naturally, but I will put a cork in it or wedge a piece of birch bark over the hole to help.
