I have few trees that produce a gallon of sap but of those some will give me 4 or 5 gallons and a the rest at least two so they sort of make up for the slackers. I have hundreds of trees to choose from and its hard to figure out which ones will produce the most sap. Seems they have to be in the open and have smooth bark and have a few branchs. And the trunks can't lean towards the south or east. My best tree leans North and really puts out.
maybe 50 taps for 2011
Finally ready to boil when I get enough sap
I just might be crazy.( make that I know I am)
Trees all tapped except the ones with 5 feet of snow.
Enough rabbits to keep Elmer busy..
