When Does The Maple Flow Start In Your Area?

<< < (2/2)

Michael Bush:
My ancestors used to make syrup from the sap of many different trees, including Maples and Birches.  I never heard of gum being used, but I suppose there is some sugar in all tree sap.

beehappy1950:
It has to freeze at night to make the sap run when it starts thawing. You quit when you get sick of maple syrup. Or it gets to stought  from the trees budding out.  Usually start in March and done when the frogs start getting noisy. I am in NW Minnesota.

The15thMember:
I think people around here make black walnut syrup.  I've never had any, and I'm not sure what time of year is normal to harvest.
