Tapped 100 % Red maple for 14 years.
Grew from 22 trees to 325.
New woodlot and sugarwoods will have 3-4000 taps.
3x8 LaPierre raised flue already bought and waiting patiently in storage.
Looking forward to using 3/16" tubing.
Can't wait for 2019!!!
Thanks for the welcome, located just outside Baddeck. Sap was running yesterday, and as the day warmed up today it was just starting to run when I left the sugar shack. hope to have a boil in the next couple of days. Dumped a bit of the first flow just to freshen up the lines, looking forward to a great season.

D&G 24x96 with 12 inch cook plate Drop Flue Evaporator, Home made Preheater & Hood. Home made Butter Machine. D&G 7" Short Filter Press. http://www.facebook.com/HillbillyMapleSyrup/ 300 Taps on Vacuum , 2016.
Everything has come to a standstill here in yarmouth hopefully it will start again when things cool off a bit later in the week
We completed tapping last Wednesday. I'm early for the first time in a long time!
Total now is 275 taps.
Gathered 100 litres of sap from the Saturday/Sunday run. Not quite enough to prime the evaporator but we'll see when more comes. The snow took a beating today and the trees must be finally starting to thaw with the mild weather. Should be some sap toward the end of the week.
Wishing a good season to all!

WOW thats pretty good for 275 taps. I got 62 in this year but only got 7 gallons of sap over the weekend. looks like not all my trees are sapping yet. I sure hope my season produces like your trees do. GOOD LUCK
2010 - Visit a sugar camp, went home and tapped 6 trees that night
2011 -65 taps, homemade evap, homemade sap puller, concerned wife

Thanks Sniperdodo!
Once your Moncton snow melts and you can see the trunks of your trees the sap will come. Patience, my friend!
