Yes, the ground is frozen in the ravine. I use buckets so will give them some more time. My black walnuts are running very nicely but as they produce much less sap than maple I wanted to give these...
I live east of St. Paul and have three silver maples that I decided to tap this year for the first time in addition to my black walnuts trees. I tapped 16 walnut trees two days ago and they all...
I've been tapping my black walnut trees for a couple of years and after looking closely at the upcoming daytime/nighttime temps decided to put in my taps today. I was a bit late last year so didn't...

This is my first year tapping and have a question about sap flow. I have a large black walnut grove on my property and decided to try tapping some of the trees this year. I tapped ten trees a couple...
