Same thing for me. I have a few large Sugar Maples that are terrible producers and they are right next to great producers.
I plan on tapping this weekend. I am running a little behind this year.
my ratios are defiantly worst this year. a lot more dirt/sugar sand as well ( usually attributed to a bad growing season). I have 37 taps out and 30 are sugar maple. 14L of syrup so far this year.
Syrup by the Sea, what is your evaporation rate like on the Mason?
I collected 160 liters of sap on Wednesday. I froze it for a later boil.
I tapped 35 trees on the weekend. hopefully get a run this week.
pulled my taps on Saturday the 13th. finished with 32 liters of syrup!
boiled for the first time on Saturday. 160L of sap - 4L of syrup.
The next 2 days look promising
no boiling yet. at this rate its going to be a very short season.
I tapped in last week, hoping for a run this coming week.
I pulled my taps on Saturday the 14th. It was a very strange year. much like last year.
yes, these last 4 noreasters have been a real pain. I have 2.5 feet of snow at my camp now.

I managed another boil on Friday, hoping for one more boil. currently I am at half of last years total
yes, lets hope the weather breaks this coming week.

managed to get 75 liters of sap and 2.2 liters of light syrup.
Yes, the forecast looks good for a run Thursday to Sunday.
LOL! yes lots of snow. I have about 3 feet on the ground at the camp.
Best of luck in 2017! I thought I heard that the sledding was pretty good up there this year.
I pulled all of my taps on April 2 as the sap was cloudy and a little yellow. I did manage to get one last big boil on April 1. good year.
Loon Lake Louie, did u get any sap yesterday or today?
pull my buckets today. sap that ran today was cloudy yellowish. I did manage to boil another 270L of sap last night and got 6L of dark syrup, In total I collected 950L 0f Sap and got 22L of...
