Wondering if anyone in northern ontario is still boiling ?
Still boiling, in the north end (North Bay) I taped 55 trees this year, all buckets. Had 3 boils so far. Made about 18 litres of syrup. Forecast for next week looks like we might get a few good days. Still snow in the thick parts of the bush.
Still going here as well, some decent sap flows lately. Sugar content is still up around 3%
Approximately 610 litres sap to 19 L syrup between 66 and 69 brix
Collected another 230 + - liters in the last 4 days, and the upcoming week should be productive as well. Down to 43 taps from 51
Things are still worth boiling up north from the bush trees, anything in the sun is dried up

Good season though. 2600 litres of sap 74 litres syrup. So about 35:1
Final boil today, 140 L at 2.2 brix collected in the past couple days. Pulled all taps except the ones beside the house which are at thìs moment still running clear at 2.2 brix so will give them till the last minute before I pull them.
