Running good for me also. In the last 24 hours I have gotten 1.6 GPT. Sap is running 200GPH right now and should pick up in a few hours. Sugar has gone down to 2%.

This is very bad news though not surprising. The fact that it has been in Orange for several years suggests it is likely in other areas but has not been observed.Quote:

Things slowed down, no freeze last night. looks like we got about 0.75 gallon per tap today. Hopefully it picks up so I can boil this weekend.

A couple years ago there were traps or sticky board where hung in trees in our region, I think University research had a notice on trees about it.
Yesterday I got about .75 GPT as it slowed down from the day before. As of last night the sugar had gone down to 1.9%. It's 29 degrees here this morning and I don't think it will warm up enough today for sap. Looks like Saturday it should start running again for me.

I made over 20 gal. AR last night from about 1300 gal. of sap that came in Tuesday and yesterday. That puts me over 100 gal. so far this season.
Haven't had a freeze since Monday night and the sap flow pretty much stops overnight. Only 150 gal. since 4pm yesterday. It should pick up again today, as it did yesterday, when the sun comes out...
General what is this thing you call the sun? haven't seen it in awhile. Trees are definetly slowing down. Need a freeze pretty bad!!
Got zero sap today. Boooo.
I need another few hundred gallons to justify boiling Saturday. But with the front coming in tonight I have a feeling I wont have enough to boil and what sap I have is going to get poured out, again.

370 gal Syrup today from sap on Tues night and Wed. Mostly Fancy (Golden-Delicate). About 30% of our minimum expected crop. Not much sap run today. Probably slow for a few days.
I'm curious as to what you mean by poured out...Quote:
