According to Wikipedia, sugarbush is from Africa and is also known as Protea. The only other Sugarbush that Google turns up is in reference to sugar maple trees.

Hm ... tricky.
Here in Upstate NY a sugarbush is a grove of sap bearing maple trees. A forty foot maple is just a bit out of scale. May be a term or a plant specific to a certain area.
Hopefully someone else can help.
