Can someone please help me confirm that these are sugar maple leaves? 2019 will be my first year making maple syrup and I'll be starting small. I'm trying to get my scouting done now.

Thank you to everyone for the great advice, I’m glad I asked!

Hi, I'm new to mapletrader and to making maple syrup in general. My first season will be 2019, but I'm already obsessed! I look at the calendar everyday and count the days until February. I'm Ron...

2019 will be my first year making maple syrup. I have gone all-in and bought all of my equipment and I've located four sugar maple trees. I can hardly wait to start! In my preparation I looked up...
