In Vermont at least, "creemee" is the term used for soft-serve ice cream. It is made in a special machine. Regular ice cream has less air in it and is generally scooped out of a carton of some type. Thanks for the comment.

Those zap-bac spouts are nothing to write home about. My first year with them they did ok but after that they were useless. I had a lot of biofilm build up on the inside of them half way through the second season (this year) and my sap yield slowed right down. In order to get the sap yield that I needed I did something that I hate. I reamed my tap holes. It only amounted to about an extra weeks worth of running but I got my production numbers up to where they needed to be. I don't want to do that again. Have to adopt a different plan. I know someone else that had great yields and they didn't use check valve spouts just new straight spouts (don't know about the drops). I keep looking at different ideas.

Would you plug the wound to keep out bugs, or leave open it to heal on its own?
@UVMProctorMapleResearchCenter6 ай бұрын
Tapholes should not be plugged, but rather should be left open for the tree to heal naturally. A plug that is inserted will soak up water and rot, causing more damage than if the wound is left unplugged. The tree will close the wound by growing new wood on the outside within a season or two.

Not at all. Essentially we are making the stem akin to a sugar-filled straw in the ground. By putting a strong vacuum on the cut stem, we are pulling water out of the soil and up through the stem and out of the cut top where we can collect the sweet sap and boil it down to make maple syrup.

How much sap does that stem produce compared to a conventional tapped tree, how is sugar content of the sap?
@UVMProctorMapleResearchCenter7 ай бұрын
Sap sugar content is comparable to a mature tree. This sapling was growing out in the open however. Sap collection from a 2" stem with 25" Hg vacuum will yield a little under a gallon of sap over the season. However, on a per acre basis, this style of collection will yield up to about 10X the amount of syrup compared to typical production in a high-density maple plantation.

@UVMProctorMapleResearchCenter7 ай бұрын
In a plantation setting, the stem will vigorously resprout new branches just below the cut. The approach is to recut the stem about 5-6" below the original cut. Better yet, choose a multi-stemmed sapling and rotate to a different stem each year so it takes 4-6 yrs to return to the originally cut stem. For regenerating in woods, regrowth is less vigorous, but still happens. Basically, this resprouting is similar to what happens when saplings are browsed by deer. Many species (including maple) are well adapted to handle this. @@shawntobin-ii9cq

In some cases, these research chambers are located in places where it is not easy to collect the sap. The value for us is in the research, and collecting the sap from some areas would take a lot of time and effort that would take away the time we need to do other research. So in those few cases, the sap is (unfortunately) dumped.

Only issue is that I'm in Charlotte, which is typically a Zone 8A, so I'm not certain how much the sap will run here, but it's more of an experiment than anything else. I'm also tapping silver maples, so there is a bit less sugar in the sap. My confusion is when to tap here, as the buds usually come out in mid-January, so I'm trying it now, in December. Wish me luck!

Yes, that is likely far too early. You want to capture the most sap flow periods in the spring, understanding that once tapholes are drilled, they start to degrade due to microbial contamination (termed "taphole drying"). Where are you located?
