Sap flow is only part of what determines the total amount of syrup made (and how much money ends up in a syrup producer’s pocket). New research suggests sugar makers may be advised to look to their trees’ canopies as well as the weather forecast if they want to predict the tapping season.
Feedback received from early users of Leader check-valve adapters, developed by the UVM Proctor Maple Research Center.
The objective of this study was to examine leaf chlorophyll responses of sugar maple seedlings exposed to excess Mn.
Tree growth rate can be an important indicator of how well the tree will heal from tapholes.
At Leader’s Spring Open House, three top experts in tubing and woods management – Glen Goodrich, Mark Erlsten, and Jon Rybkiewicz – sat down for a little over an hour and shared loads of invaluable information on all aspects of installing tubing, tapping trees, and best woods practices.
Exudation is the process whereby trees can generate a large positive pressure in stems or roots during months when the tree is leafless and mostly dormant and temperatures fluctuate above and below freezing. This article aims to provide an update on recent modelling efforts
in combination with experimental measurements from red/sugar maple trees at the University of Vermont Proctor Maple Research Center that validate the model results.
Presents research on taps and tapping practices to maximize yield. Also explains sap flow and tree wounding.
A guide to energy efficiency in the sugarhouse.
The goal of this project was to examine the effects of liming and fertilization on tree physiology, growth and sugar production of a moderately fertile maple stand. In this first report, we describe, in general terms, the study area, treatments, and results of liming and fertilization on tree physiology and growth.
In this article we describe the effects of fertilization and liming on sugar production in maple stands.
