Tapped 5 Walnut Trees this weekend

(1/3) > >>

jalentour:
Tapped when it was about 10 degrees so I didn't expect much, was thinking I would get results this in a few days when it warmed up.
This is my second year to tap for syrup.  Build a "arch" out of a steel barrel and a few more taps than the 10 I used last year.
If anyone has tips or resources to share please do. 
This seems like a nice hobby to go along with honey.

I did not know anyone tapped Walnut trees. What does it taste like?

Psparr:
The sugar content is real low. Makes good syrup though. Usually walnuts are a bit later than maples.

I have never tapped any tree.  I did read on a forum of someone tapping sycomore.  They said the syrup made from it had a bit of a butterscotch taste to it.  I also have never heard of tapping a walnut tree, Have you ever heard of tapping a sycomore tree?
Cheers
