multiple tree types for one product???

[frontiersman1985]

I have about 75% sugar maples, and the other 25% are reds, and silvers, is it ok to mix those saps together in the boiling? Will the flavor outcome be harmed? Should i boil down each type separated?

Go ahead and mix am all together. The only real differences are possibly the sugar content(Reds are usually a little less) and possibly the amount of time the different species run sap.

I have 22 taps in red maples that had a high of 3.2% this year. These red maples always have a high sugar content.

Reds in Minn have no difference in sugar content and or flavor.
They typically run 2 to 4%.
Silvers while the sugar content is just as high seem to have a bolder richer flavor--at least around here.
