I do exactly that on the trees at my sugarhouse. I have mostly sugar maples, but I have 41 tap in reds and silvers. The Reds and silvers are on separate laterals from the sugars, as soon as the soft maples open bud those laterals get removed from the lines. For me this year the reds and silvers were removed 3 1/2 weeks before the season ended on the sugars. At that point the sugars still had not opened bud. Normally for me the difference is about 2 weeks, this year was exceptional.
In my lease they are all sugar maples so I don't need to separate them there.

Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
