My silvers flowered on the 20th. Test boiled some sap collected today from a small run. Still makes great syrup. Should flow well tomorrow and we'll see what we get. All the flowers are now clearly brown in color from the good freeze.
We had several days of 60+ temps before and after they opened, but no sap flow. Had two evenings of temps near 20.
