Dr-tim- so there has been a couple small runs. the sugar is made in the branches as i understand or stoed there so to speak. the freeze thaw cycle which has happened for a fay or two has pulled water into the trees missing with the sugar. as the sugar comes down the trunk(correct me if any of this is off as this is my understanding of things) it is either 1. used by tree, however the trees are dormant so i would not think this. 2. re-deposit or stores lower in tree near trunk or 3. is collected via tap. now with all this said and if number 2 was more logical as im thinking. wouldn't these warm-ups warrant sweeter sap in the spring?? since its turning starch to sugar. could it go into the ground????
