I just tappedmy first 3 trees yesterday. Have almost 5 gallons of sap already. Has anyone tried freezing sap to concentrate it first? I have a freezer with room for a bucket, but it gets down to -20.
I was going to tap a few trees here but will the sap even run? We've had such warm weather this winter only a few days of true cold. No solid stretches of freezing without hitting over 40+ right after.
Just finished a walk through of half the property with my dad, needed to get him out of the house for a bit, probably have some 6-12 maples big enough to tap. Most on the property line are 70+ yrs old. Some may be too old, too damaged to risk tapping?
Was planing on trying to tap some trees this year, an injury made that impossible. But that means I have another year to prep/find more trees.
Are all maples tapable?
