When Can I Start Tapping My Maple Trees? (Rebroadcast)

In this episode we talk about the often-elusive question: When can I start tapping my Maple trees?

We start by examining the process by which Maple trees produce maple sap. We then answer the questions: if I tap too early will my taps dry out and plug up? If I start too late, how much sap will I miss out on?

We discuss when the average start time is for the Maple sugaring season at different latitudes.

We also talk about how the commercial Maple syrup producers handle the variable timing of the Maple sugaring season.

We wrap up our conversation by suggesting several key tips and tricks for optimizing your sugaring season, as well as tips from the “old-timers” on what to look for in nature to tell you when to start your tapping season.

Don’t miss this episode jam-packed with helpful information!
