I have one red that has given me pink, purple, grey, and plenty of yellow boiled everything but the yellow and had no issue with one or two gallons mixed into 40-50 gallons of clear sap. It flowers early every year, this year it was third week of February.
I am not going to tap it anymore with plenty of new trees at my disposal Im retiring it. it has had its leader broken off several times and is struggling, putting out new growth low on the tree and starting suckering last year.
