Removing Taps at end of Season from Reds
Odd question here that I should probably know the answer to. In my research red maples seem to bud earlier than other maple trees, so if there is a red maple on the line is it prudent to pull them early? And if so with the tap going into the tee, once you unplug it and set it into the tee will the line maintain vacuum?
