Tapped today (2/18/16) in Bethany

[Sapling]

I tapped my 20 trees early this morning. Not one tree dripped a drop as I worked. I'm at a high elevation (800' AMSL) in a cold valley. It's only 25 deg. outside now, but the forecast shows a high of 31 today, a high of 35 tomorrow, and highs in the forties for the next few days thereafter. I think I might have missed an early run at the beginning of the month, but I am hoping for a long season starting tomorrow!

Yep, there was some good sap flow since the beginning of February. I collected 20 gallons from14 taps yesterday and today basically nada-frozen. Good luck with your season. Temps look very promising!

Just collected 18.25 gallons (measured) from the last 24 hrs from my 22 taps and buckets. Second best day ever for my modestly productive trees. That's 18% of my season goal. This is a good start!
