Sugar in sap vs prior years weather?
I did some searching but could not find anything. How does last summer and falls weather effect this years sugar content of sap? I am sure it depends on a ton of factors and species of maples but didn’t know if anyone had a theory. Here in central Michigan we were extremely dry in June, July and August and have had a temendous amount of water since then (one of the wettest falls on record.) Dad thinks we are going to have weak sap because of all of the rain in the last 4 months. Thoughts? Thanks for the replies.
