Plastic Tubes Tested In UVM Maple Study For Maple Sap
Raymond T. Foulds Jr. reports on a University of Vermont maple sap study at Proctor Maple Research Farm Underhill. The findings show six inch or greater drops from spouts to T fittings improve sap collection, with non vented tubing sometimes yielding more sap than vented systems. Ground versus elevated drops perform similarly for total sap.
