We've been wanting to tap our silver maple tree ever since we moved in, but never managed to do it until this year! Mike tapped the tree on Feb 28 and a week later we had a bucketful of sap. We had a couple more bucketfuls but they fell off the tree, darn it.
Mike boiled it down and we got about enough syrup for a couple pancakes! Can't wait to use it up.
Beautiful elixir!

Take Care!
