Road Maples
03/21/2019 | Posted by jake |
Another good run yesterday and overnight, sap should keep flowing today too. We ran the RO while we slept so that we could have an early morning boil instead of our typical afternoon/evening ones that go way too late. In other news our new experimental road maples next door are running great. We use smaller diameter tubing that creates a natural vacuum, the weight of the sap in the downhill tubing pulls on the trees much like a siphon. It’s nothing like our other woods but it’s easy/cheap to setup and requires little maintenance during the season, plus the sap was 2.5% sugar due to all of the sunlight the trees receive in the summer! Thanks Bob/Cody/Craig!
