stretching tubing

[maplemaple2020]

Well i was watching the wind blowing and the trees were moving back and forth and i wondered if i have my taps in my trees when the wind blows the trees will my tubing stretch when the trees are pulling:confused::-|:o

Any streatching will be negligible from swaying unless you are tapping up high on small trees. Basically. don't worry about it. The tubing has some degree of elasticity which will take care of it.

If you are tapping 8 to 10 inch or larger trees, the don't really move 4 to 5 feet of off the ground, just high up where they branch out and have all the small branches.
