In order for the product to be truly useful and environmentally tasty, it is necessary to extract it in the depths of the forest, at the maximum distance from roads and residential buildings. It has been scientifically proven that the correct collection of liquid does not harm trees, but, unfortunately, not everyone knows how to produce liquid and safely for the tree (Figure 1).
Technically, the right mining is carried out like this:
- Only adult trees need to choose, the diameter of the trunk of which is at least 20 cm. Depending on the diameter of the barrel, you need to drill one or two holes. On average, per day one tree can give up to 6 liters of fluid, but not to cause it harm, it is recommended to collect no more than 2 liters from one instance.
- On the trunk of the selected tree, a small section of the cortex is removed at an altitude of 40 cm from the ground level, and then drill a hole with a diameter with a diameter of no more than 5 cm.
- In the hole you need to insert a tube or a medical dropper, which will die liquid. Under the tube, set a container for collecting.

Home birch juice for the winter - ready!
Monday, October 12, 2015 16:35 + in quoteBerezovitsa, birch juice, birch tears are the names of the same very valuable drink that has a beneficial effect on the entire human human body as a whole.
In birch juice, the water content with tritium and deuterium is sharply reduced, as well as there is a special fluid that has a certain structure, which is very useful for the human body. This one of the reasons why birch juice is valuable not even how much is its real composition, but how much is this liquid with a special structure.
This structure has a property to change. And the changes start occurring from the moment of extraction of the juice from the birch stem and after a couple of hours, the structure changes dramatically. That is why birch juice is recommended to use fresh, it is not subject to storage, and even more so canning.
And what is the pleasure of releasing my own birch juice. He has a pleasant refreshing taste, and the drink strengthens the human body. By the way, birchy juice is practically no different from simple water. This juice has long been appreciated for his healing properties, because it is the most natural, environmentally friendly, without chemical ingredients. Drink with pleasant taste and healing properties.
During the melting period of snow, about a month before the appearance of leaves and colors on a birch, you can see the adhesive leaflets. At this time, the movement of juice begins, called the People of Birch. Within 1.5 - 3 weeks you can get this sweet drink.
Birch juice, which you will collect in the industrial zone or nearby the lively roads will apply only harm. It is also useless to spend money on the purchase of juice in the store, during the canning, almost all useful substances are destroyed.
Let's try to figure out how to get juice from birch.
A small piece of outer cortex is cut out, and then the crisper is made a shallow hole not more than 3 - 4 cm. It will almost immediately a brush trick will appear. The juice can be collected in the container using gauze or strengthen the tinie bile.
Upon completion of the collection, noise should be tightly smeared with economic soap, plasticine or wax. Such measures protect the tree from the penetration of mushrooms and bacteria. In ancient times it was believed that the juice should be collected in a special tuys of Berriest, in which the juice retains all its useful qualities. Now for harvesting juice is mainly plastic or glass bottles.
It is important to be able to properly collect birch juice, while not harming the trees.
The first rule.
Birch juice should be collected from trees, the diameter of which is more than 20 cm. Old trees and young thin birch trees to collect juice are not suitable.
The second rule.
From one birch, it is allowed to collect no more liter of juice at a time with an interval of 2 to 3 days. You can pierce your bark on a tree with a chisel or a knife, the hole must not be deep. In the resulting slot, insert a plastic or metal groove or a tube along which the juice will become fixed in the fixed container. After completing the fee of the juice, it is necessary to open the hole either tightly close the moss with a wax, plasticine or garden boiler.
You can use a more gentle way. A branch is cut off on a bitch, on the stump of which you can hang a bottle. Using this method, permissible on one tree to hang several bottles at once. Cropped twig should be passed down a bit down. For convenience, the branch can be tied to a tree trunk or lower bitch.
Remember that in the daytime, when the bright sunshine shines is running much faster. Remember this and do not forget to check the tare filler.
The most favorable period for collecting birch tears is the time interval from 12 to 18 hours, it is in this watch that the juice movement is most active.
The number of holes that can be made on the trunk of a single tree depends on the diameter. So if the birch diameter does not exceed 25 cm, it is allowed to do only 1 hole. With a diameter of from 25 to 35 cm - 2, with diameter up to 0.4 m, no more than 3 holes can be made, but with diameter more than 0.4 m can be made up to 4 holes.
Tips for the collection of birch juice
The period of movement of the juice in birch depends on the weather. If during the Martam thawing juice began to flow, then in frosty days his movement may stop for a while. As a rule, the movement of juice begins in the second decade of March, simultaneously with the active melting of snow, and in about the same time the kidney swell. The collection of juice is completed when the leaves bloom, in about mid-April.
Only pure forests are suitable for collecting "birch tears", because the trees are very easily absorbed by exhaust gases and harmful substances. For collection, a tree with a developed magnificent crown is perfect for collection, a diameter of at least 0.2 m. The hole intended for the collection of juices is usually done at the level of 20 - 25 cm from the ground. Do not need to do a deep hole, because the movement of the juice occurs in the upper layers, located between wood and bark.
Store the collected juice follows no more than 48 hours in the refrigerator. The view is that birch juice without prejudice is stored up to 30 days erroneously, during this time the juice loses almost all useful substances.
It is worth noting that, like any other juice, birch is more useful to use fresh, for the first 2 hours after a collection.
With a neat cut of the crust and layers of wood, a small harm is applied to the tree.
The scientific literature does not meet the mention of the death of birches due to the collection of juice, even on an industrial scale.
Sulfroductivity is one of the main indicators of the vital activity of the tree. If the amount of juice came less every year, it would be possible to say that the collection of juice undermines the health of trees. For five years, in the Middle Urals, surveillance were monitored, which showed that juice productivity tends to increase.
Natural juice Birch has long been appreciated by people for their miraculous properties.
