Plasm is a noun that can mean plasma, germplasm, or a formative material.

Guess it’s both? (Merriam-Webster)

I wonder if it's a regional thing.

Definitely, often from Vermont or Canada ;)

I'm from Canada and have never heard or seen plasm.

No, syrup!

I think it’s a “being unnecessarily technical/obtuse as a joke” thing: plasma, as in “blood plasma” - thus, tree blood plasma ~= maple syrup

... yes plasma with an 'a'. Not plasm on the card.
