I have always wanted to make my own maple syrup and I just got my first 5 gallons of sap out of this maple tree here. I still have to cook it down to 1/40th, BUT I’m super stoked. This only took 2 days to get!
If you’re looking to do this, definitely choose the tree side facing the sun most of the day, I have in the same tree on the other side tapped, and I don’t even have a gallon, and same on another tree, practically nothing. #home source
