I have a box elder that has almost fallen down and is going to be removed after the ground dries up this spring. So.........I had a perfect candidate for some test tapping. This afternoon I hung three buckets on it and, so far, it's dry. When it starts to run I plan on putting buckets up and down this thing so that it looks like Swiss cheese by the time it's cut down. I want to get every last drop out of it.

I snipped the end of a small twig from my Norway to see what was happening with that tree and it is dripping like crazy. Things just got interesting.
