You're not far from me. What maples reds or sugars? Reds have buds almost all year while dormant but very small. However they have really swelled of late. sugars only show a little signs of buds. I think the season is over either way. The sap doesn't look good and i think it would make commercial. I usually don't make commercial syrup but this year i might just because of how bad of production i had.
