These two trees have been tapped now for a month and haven't given up a drop of sap. What did I do wrong?

You might need a mud sucker to get them to run!

Tapping “Post” Mortem doesn’t work

Looks like you don't have enough slope in your mainline!

If a tree does not have branches or roots it produces as much sap as a telephone pole

Sadly, my woods trees haven't given me much more sap than these two yet. It's pretty much still winter here, with colder than normal temps and 2.5-3 ft. of snow in the woods. It's a race against time at this point, I hope they run for 3 weeks before the trees bud.
