When I hear people talking about sugar content near one I cringe at the thought!
You guys don't know how lucky you are and I mean that! Wow makes me want to pack up and head north. So last year was horrible down here and I mean bad. Guys right out of the gate started at 1.5 and within a week dropped to 1. By third week of March I was hearing of some at 3/4%
Last year I saw one run of 1.9 , just days later it was down to 1.5 and this was on my better bush. The sugar just wasn't able to hold out. We had a 2-3 day freeze and it bumped up 2/10 for a couple days lol....woo hoo.
But no that's impressive for the sugar to be holding like that. I guess some are coming in at 40/1 after all
