I'm going to make maple syrup in my yard this year, and I cant figure out the amount of sap collected per amount of time. In other words, how much sap flows from a 18" maple in one hour?
I have to figure out the times.
Thanx to anybody

I've never tasted maple syrup, but that hasn't stopped me composing a poem in it's honour:
Oh maple leaf, oh maple leaf,
You are so sweet, you are so sweet...
Er, that's it.

Maple syrup winds up missing
2006-07-08 11:46:27
Truckloads of maple syrup valued at more than one (m) million dollars have gone missing from a Quebec warehouse. Thieves apparently used heavy trucks to make off with a thousand barrels of golden syrup sometime over the past few days. The theft happened at a facility operated by the controversial Quebec federation of maple syrup producers in Scott-Jonction, 50 kilometres south of Quebec City.
In a radio interview several of the federation's directors suggested the robbery may have been committed by disenchanted workers in the sector. The Surete du Quebec is investigating. Since 2002, there has been a running battle between several producers and the federation, which has instituted limits on the sale and production of syrup. A 23 (m) million kilogram surplus is reportedly sitting in three federation warehouses.

it's kind of weird how Grade B maple syrup is considered better than Grade A.

A lot of the syrups they sell at stores and have at restaurants are really just corn syrup.

VoVat - me too, just nice to have a change, plus that stuff doesn't qualify as maple syrup anyway. Well, I've never been to an IHOP, but Phil's does the same thing...

It doesn't generally get too cold in April and a snowstorm like that at that time of the year, up until the last three or four years, would've been unheard of.

Uh... any plans to move to Florida? ;)

You know, when I'm at IHOP or something, I always use the fruit-flavored syrups, rather than the maple.

Saskatchewan is the new Alberta, Carolyn. Except not so full of cowboys, rednecks, mad cows, and ultra-right wing nutjobs. Oh, we still have our share (except for the mad cows, they're a happy lot here), but...

Yann, even with that Vermont comment, you're always welcome here (though it may be that I plan to use your visit to educate you on maple syrup)...
PS I know this has come up, but warm maple syrup plus snow = Canadian candy.
