I also tapped 2 Box Elder Maples a week and a half ago...
One isn't really giving much sap and the other is giving a little more but it smells "Nutty" to me and I keep dumping it...

It was fun and I have 44 gallons keeping cold to boil but it looks like that will be the last batch this year...

I have tons of those "flowering" trees in my bush. I think they are the silvers. Mine started doing this yesterday.
