This reads like something from The Onion.

1. Everybody knows sap rises...but here they act like it is a new discovery.

2. How can a sapling live and keep producing after you chop off its top?

I suspect it won't last long. However, this 'discovery' is kinda obvious, but, nobody did it before. Dunno why.

I suspect the plan is to replant every few years getting just one harvest per tree. Maples are tall and skinny when young so you could plant a lot of them per acre.

Have you every tried killing a maple tree? When they are cut back, leaves come out of nowhere.
