RE: Make Maple Syrup! Even If You Only Have One Maple Tree!
Yes, about 3 feet off the ground the tree should be about a foot wide. I have a video describing that I think on youtube (I have to pull all of them when I get the time, but for the mean time I think it's still there).
Toward the end of this video:
Awesome! Thanks for that. My trees still look a little too small (they are thinner than the one in your video). Maybe in a few years?
Absolutely. I've seen people tap an 8" tree. If you have any that you think you may thin out later or remove somewhere else on the property you could put a single tap in to give it a try. Rule of thumb is on quart of finished syrup for every tap.
