    I would liek to plant about 100 of theses trees if they are as good as they say they are.
    I will be 23 in Feb. so at least I could tap these trees someday.
    I am not sure if I want to plant the Super sweets or just plant regular sugar maples with the rpm root ball
    We will see after this spring!

    I Also Am Trying To Start My Own Maple Grove I Planted 22 Hard Maples That I Picked With A Three Point Hitch Tree Spade From A Section Of Our Woods That The Soft Maple Had Died Off And The Few Hard Had Seeded Tons Of Saplings I Marked Them For Direction Of Which They Were Growing In The Woods And Planted In The Same Direction On Our Hillside Field In Thirtey Foot Spacing This Will Be Their Second Season. This Spring 16 Of Twenty Two Budded And Were Leaved Out Nicely If Things Go Well This Year Would Like To Finish The Planting With About 100 More. My Father Won 6 Of The Super Maples At The Winter Conference So Will Probably Add Those Also.

    This RPM sounds really neat. You young people have the time to plant sugar maples and tap them. That is a great thing to do.

    I have a friend who planted some of the sweet trees. I think the sugar content is higher, but what will also help them out will be the big crowns they get from being planted in a field.

    We planted about 20 sugar maples and 10 reds last spring. Most of them made it. We're replanting those that didn't make it this spring.

    Casey- How is your RPM tree growing? Has anybody else decided to try any of these trees? I would really like to see how these trees really do grow.
