Looking for some basic syrup info
I what I know:
The season tends to start as the maple season ends
It takes almost double the sap compared to maple per gallon

What else do I need to know!?!?

I ask because I have a small sugarbush (5-600 taps) that has significantly more black birch trees than maple. I was wondering if I could tube the property for both with one tubing system?
My thinking is tap the maple, then when the birch season starts, Un tap and plug the maple and tap the birch.
Would this work? I'm thinking one tubing system to maintain

Does birch require a Vacuum system? Then you'd have one pump and releaser as well
Just curious about trying it
Thanks in advance
