Sap Flow! Video

Finally some sap flow, this is a fairly slow flow rate on good days the sap will almost form a continuous stream, but I’ll take it.

Installing Maple Taps

We are installing several test taps to monitor when the sap starts flowing, at which time mroe taps will be installed.

Step 1: Select tap location, good spots include under a branchs. Prefereably into healthy looking bark, on the side of the tree that recieves the most sunshine.

Step 2: Drill a 19/64" hole at a slight upward angle, approximatly 2" deep.
