Tapping Season – December/January
Trees twelve inches in diameter or greater may be tapped.
A hole is drilled at a slight upward angle +/- 2 inches deep.
A “spile” or tap is inserted into the hole and attached to a down-tube; the down-tube feeds into a conductor line. Gravity and a vacuum pull sap down through the conductor line to our “marshmallow”, a storage tank at the saphouse.
