Yep, box elders are often considered members of the maple family, and make great syrup. Are you thinking about tapping this year, Bill?

Thanks for the offer Sean, but that's a long way to haul sap, and an even longer distance to hang tubing!

Scott you are correct. The first sap of the season is usually highest in sugar, and often makes the lightest grade of syrup. That's one reason we tapped in so early this year.

That, and the fact that I'm trying to get things wrapped up before a certain weekend in Feb.

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
