Tree sap gathering and syrup making

Anyone start yet? Put out 450 taps yesterday. Next week should be fantastic sap weather.

very nice,

our sap does not run for at least another good month here for box elder.

I was going to tap a few trees here but will the sap even run? We've had such warm weather this winter only a few days of true cold. No solid stretches of freezing without hitting over 40+ right after.

I'm in upstate NY also. Winter hasn't really set it at all. Some large producers in the area were boiling in January, and haven't stopped. Hopefully we'll get a good couple weeks in before the sap turns.

just started tapping my box elders this year, hoping for a good season!
