I don't plan to tap my yard trees this spring. Weather we have here next few days I'm sure it will be dripping.
What is happening else where??

Favorite nephew taps along the Mississippi between the cities and Saint Cloud. As of this morning nothing but I’m thinking that will change fast.

Just starting to flow in central il.

We finished up 2 1/2 gallons last weekend. That’s enough for us.

Ran here today

He lost in November!

Tapped today and it was running.

running here

Plan on tapping tomorrow

Tapped 60 trees on Sunday2/24. Today about six put out about 1/2 gal but most are just starting but a good run of weather this week it looks like.

Tapped a couple test trees today. Pretty early up here Lake county, M.N. A couple feet of snow yet.

A little bit. Probably too much frost in the ground around the roots to get it running good. Today was our 3rd day tapping. We have about 650 taps out with 3 smaller woods to go the next couple days.Hve not collected yet.

Walnuts are running. Tapped a few and collection is fair.

Today was the first day I know of any being collected here. Trees are just trying to get going. I'd not expect much to be collected tomorrow as the temp is going to run about 30-32 overnight with rain forecasted for morning. Forecast looks potentially favorable going forward though. The state didnt have much of anything last year so the guys are pretty anxious around here

We have two sugar bushes that we hobby tap, one highland, one low along small river. The low trees always a week or more before the highland but they both end about the same time when spring breaks flow. Pretty sure it is the unfrozen ground water near river that lets them flow earlier.

Gpt 10 trees left in one woods. Put about 150 taps in there today. Two woods left about 80 to 100 taps and we should be done! I have a 4 wheeler on the fritz so that is an issue when collection starts.
Taps were filling up while putting in today. A lot of times they bleed or run a bit when tapping. We melted off about 6-12 inches of snow in the lasst 3 days and the ground is still froze so it is muddy in the woods around us.

Put out 40 buckets yesterday. Nothing yet!

guys are getting some here,

This is in the running for best post ever

Wait until later today might be something in those buckets. Like i said I'm not tapping this year just don't feel like it.
This did pop up on my FB yesterday. Apparently 8 years ago the sap was running. Not sure exactly where you are but this was probably close by.
