Not in Mount Vernon----well at least not where I am anyway. We need some sun and drop the wind.

Sap was running like crazy yesterday. I use the Tap My Trees green 3 gallon buckets, and several on roadside and riverside trees were overflowing by midafternoon here (northeast of Bangor, Maine). Having the neighbors over this weekend for Maine Maple Sunday. Should have plenty of sap to boil and hot syrup coming out of the canner.

Hey wurmdert i went with the 3/16ths but used my 5/16ths as main line. There are 68 tree's on the line, well about 15 tree's in from the start, i had a tree with a tap just pouring out. The sap was going 90 degree's up the 3/16ths and out. So i pulled it and held it higher, got the flow going right, put the tap back, and all is well again. Ever have anything like that happen to you? It was a cold night before, so maybe ice, or a block by something, or maybe the main isn't big enough? Any thoughts?
