Got 9 gallons yesterday. Of my 104 trees only about 20 are showing signs of anything so far. Only the ones that get decent sun. Most of my good producing trees are still sitting in a foot and half of snow with ice all over the place. The other thing I noticed this year - on days with only marginal warmth (like yesterday) only my metal spigots run. Plastic stay frozen. Seems like the metal ones take the heat from the sun better. Flipping up the lid on the buckets so the sun hits the spigot also seems to help them start as well. Becoming a bit obsessed with it.
