How many methods are you familiar with when it comes to tapping palm wine?

I’m guessing you’re fond of the method where the farmer climbs the palm tree . That’s correct we call that method Trimming process.

1/ Burning/Falling:- This process is predominantly practiced in Ghana, west Africa region and in some part of South Eastern Nigeria but differently because
they do not engage on burning activities only fall.

2/ -The palm tree is cut down before the tapping process begins. After which it is allowed to sit there for a minimum of five days.

- After that, dressing of the palm by removing the palm fronds, inflorescence and spathe.

3/ -A rectangular hole is constructed at the very neck of the palm tree or few meter before
the neck, a maximum rectangular size that will be enough for the burning process,

4/ -Fix a pipe or funnel
on the hole already made during the drilling process and connect to a container placed below. Just as seen below.

5/ -Then begin the extraction of the sap. You must note that the extraction takes place early in the morning while by mid day is for the burning process, from that drilled rectangular cavity hole heat will be applied.

6/ -Continue this process until the palm tree can no longer produce any sap and this can last between 25 to 35 days depending on the tree size.
