    20 taps. A couple of them are monsters, but only one with 3. Most the others have two. I have one giant by the creek that has about 9 trunks growing from the base, but I only tap a max of 3 of them per year.
    I have 4 trees at the office that I tapped last year, but they didn't produce very well. I may give them 1 more year before I write them off as not worth it.

    The subdivision across the street has a ton of young sugars growing along the sidewalk, but I don't think their HOA would take kindly to my running a vacuum line along them!
