Is this a sugar maple?
From my books looks more like sugar maple than red or silver. What's your thoughts? If so I have 50 + on 9 acres of land. Nembie here figured I would tap a fee for fist time.http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/5a9315a6...224_155156.mp4

Looks good, if its maple, tap it.
Looks like a sugar to me. Red leaves are not smooth between the tips on the leaves, they are serrated.

I would say sugar, definitely not silver
Sugar Maple go for it
Looks a little more like a black maple to me. Blacks are just as good as sugar maples. For a long time both were thought to be one and the same, but later the black was determined to be a different variety.
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.
Sugar maple leaves are curved between the lobes like the curve between your thumb and fore-finger on an outstretched hand.
Blacks and sugars are all hard maples and I consider them the same for tapping
Those leaves are definitely sugar maple. I cant be certain of the trunk pic.
