Tapping maples on your property sounds like a no brainer. It was when I lived in Wisconsin. But now I am in Colorado and the who sap flow thing is weird.
Like right now I know sap is flowing because there is a layer of it ON MY CAR! Yesterday some big globs landed on my head as I was getting read to head in to work.
So now, with day temps in the 40's and night time temps in the low 20's, that is typical tapping weather.
But this weekend we are getting a deep freeze with below zero temps at night.
Should I try and see what I can get out of these trees before the weekend? Wait until after our freeze? Not bother since our weather is too weird?
Anyone try this in a non-traditional region before?
