The guideline is to keep giving you fresh wood to tap year after year. A mature tree grows slower than a younger tree, just like teen agers vs. the over 30 crowd.
I don't get it mapleflats, as mentioned before, many around here WAY overtap, just take a ride. It is disgusting to see and even more when you bring it up with a landowner and then still nothing changes, really baffles me and all their doing is eventually slitting their throat and any future sugarmakers.
