Maybe its roots have gotten into the sewer line and not the water line...

Ah, that makes sense. This tree is in their front yard and dwarfs anything in a several house radius. They don't really have anything growing close to it either. He even said it's roots have broken...

Hi, this is my second year as a back yard syrup maker. This year I ran 7 primary taps; 3 between my two sugar maples and 4 on my neighbor's silver maple (more on this tree in a bit). I also tried...

My boxelders are already putting out a gallon of sap a day. So I'll definitely boil down some on Saturday, though I'm just a 10-20 tap backyard hobbyist

I'm gonna double from last year! I think tomorrow I'll put out 10 taps across a very large Silver (4 taps), 2 Sugars (3 taps), and 2 Boxelders (3 taps). Forecast for Plymouth looks perfect weather...

So here's another question. I've been collecting sap for about a week, and freezing it in old (cleaned) milk jugs. I've quickly run out of space and am now filling newly purchased food grade 5 gallon...

Tapped my first 5 taps ever on 3/3 in a large silver maple and a sugar maple. Sap didn't really start running on the silver until 3/9, still just barely dripping out of the sugar maple.

Hi. I just recently moved from Seattle to Minneapolis. I always thought it'd be the coolest thing to make my own maple syrup. The house I bought has a 24" diameter sugar maple on the property, a...
