I was looking at that a couple of years ago for a writing project, and 
while they had maples in Europe, they did not have Sugar Maples- those 
are native to what is now the eastern US. Which is not to say that the 
Europeans didn't tap tree sap, but I don't know of any instances of it 
until the discovery of the Americas.

Bear, do you know more about this?
