    Weird but normal for Quebec.I have so many clumps of trees with a maple twined around another kind of tree its not funny.Some are cedars so it's easy to tell which to tap but I haven't figured out how to cut the other trees out with out hurting the maple or climbing up and cutting it in pieces.
    maybe 50 taps for 2011
    Finally ready to boil when I get enough sap
    I just might be crazy.( make that I know I am)
    Trees all tapped except the ones with 5 feet of snow.

    Thats a different one for me to see. Funny just yesterday I went for a walk with dad to show him the progress on the new sugarbush that I have been hanging tubing in and asked him if he noticed anything strange about a maple tree with 4 different clusters of one trunk. He looked and looked and said I cant figure out if thats a hard or soft maple and then decided it was a soft maple. I said dad your half right. 2 of the 4 were softs and the other 2 hard maple. He immeditatly said cut those softs down and let the Hard maples grow. I told him I would tap the softs to death intead lol.
