Tree sap gathering and syrup making

[TJAnonymous]

FYI, this thread is about "Tree sap gathering and syrup making", not about advertising for a store bought syrup.

It's not a store bought syrup.... And I mentioned it here because it's relevant to people MAKING their own syrup. Seriously... Why do people have to be so ugly?

I have decided to start a thread for those of us that make tree syrup.

I was going to just have it on maple syrup as that is what I am making now but in six weeks I hope to make birch syrup.

please show pictures and ask questions. This is just my second year doing this, so I sure don’t have all the answers.

My dad loves to tap maple trees and this year he tried to tap his sycamores. They did not produce a lot of sap so I can't say if it's good. Next year we are planning on tapping some walnut trees. Otherwise we got lots of yummy syrup from the maple trees!

Good luck with your efforts.
