Does it take longer for a big tree to start to run when compared to a small tree? Non of my big trees ( three tap trees ) are running yet.

Yeah I think it takes longer for the big ones to go, but they are more regular once they do. Probably takes longer for all the wood to warm up compared to the smaller trees.

Think of it this way....which takes longer to warm up and then melt....a big ice cube or a little ice cube?
