Actual yields in many maple operations are often lower than those achievable under optimum conditions. Dr. Abby van den Berg, Research Associate Professor with UVM’s Department of Plant Biology and Proctor Maple Research Center, presents practices to narrow this gap, from tree to sugarhouse.
How to collect the most sap possible using efficient techniques.
Changes in the amount of sugar in maple sap vary within a sap run, from day to day, throughout the season, and from year to year.
Presentation about organic maple defoamer research.
Three-year study finds little payoff in sap yield for sugarmakers who tap in the fall.
Increasing the yield of sap from maple trees is the goal of most maple producers. While getting there isn’t a matter of one simple thing, by
following best management practices and paying attention to detail it is possible to increase sap yields, often quite dramatically. Includes links to videos.
Methods, tips, and hints to properly filter maple syrup to achieve clarity.

Although several previous studies have examined syrup darkening in different retail containers, packers and producers sometimes question the effectiveness of an oxygen-barrier in reducing the rate of color change. Two studies were performed by the University of Vermont (UVM) Proctor Maple Research Center (PMRC) in 2018 and 2019 to compare the rate of color (LT) change in maple syrup in uncoated and XL-coated retail plastic containers.
Maple producers get lower sap yields and reduced profits when they hit stained (brown) wood when tapping.
