Maple syrup time?

When does the sap generally stop flowing??....I'm a noob.....as if ya can't tell. LoL!

When we stop getting over night temps below zero. If it doesn't go below zero, the sap stays in the branches to feed the buds.

I collected 110 litres yesterday, but my taps are coming out this weekend. I've had enough. Made over 40 litres of syrup.

He's regretting it now I tell you. Nothing like hauling 2x 5gallon pails of sloshing sap around a rocky bush that'd make a goat watch its step to make you regret certain life decisions.

I hear ya. I have hauled many, many, many, many buckets of sap this year. Most with no snow on the ground, so using my usual sap sleigh was out of the question. Just make it stop already! LOL

My trees have finally started to run again. Got 4 gallons of sap yesterday, still lots of snow in the bush.

+18c today again and sunny,collected about 5gal of sap this morning and it was still clear, but no freezing temps overnight. Maybe a day or 2 left, should end up with about 6-8 litres of syrup.
