I was just checking out Caseys super sweet in his photobucket..the leaves look nothing like a sugarmaple. Seem to be much bigger, could be something to do with its ability to produce more of what it needs to become "sweeter"

So... how did those trees do this summer, Casey? I'm curious. Can you post some updated pics?
Also - are the super-sweet maples from St. Lawrence nurseries "RPM" trees? Their website didn't say anything about RPM.

-15 years sugaring and counting - hoping to create a tradition my kids will always remember
-400 taps, mostly buckets (Silver Maples + a few Boxelders just for the heck of it)
-Custom-built 2x6 evap with Smoky Lake Maple raised flue, boiling in dad's old farm granary, now converted to sugar shack
-Cobbled-together RO with XLE4040 membrane
-New in 2021: experimenting with 3/16 tubing & a Shurflo pump.
Anyone have updates to the rpm trees? I am ordering some and I would love to know how everyone is making out with them. Are they big enough to tap yet?
