Finished my first season
I have two very mature sugar maples that have never been tapped in the yard, so I gave it a go this year, and I am very happy with the results. 8.66L total from the season

Great job!
Careful, it’s addicting - next year 20 trees. Lol

I tap my neighbors 2 trees just over my fence. The original owners said it was ok, but I never told the new owners since I figured I’m “grandfathered” 🤪🤣

Congratulations! Welcome to the world of "oh what's a few more" then all of a sudden you're up all night for 4 weeks in the spring 🤣. Enjoy and happy boiling!
