  1. Tap dem der trees baby!
    Cant wait to see the woodpeckers go nuts tapping trees! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
    Spring is amazing..i got robins in central Wisconsin❤

  2. I just trimmed some lower branches on my spruce tree -15c 🇨🇦 hopefully wasn’t too late in winter 🙏✌️🇨🇦

  3. Thank you Luke for all the videos you do. I have learned so much about gardening. I was wondering if you have and if not could you make a video about what to do to your strawberries when they come out of dormancy and how do you know when that time is

  4. Lol.. the weather is so wonky in Wisconsin. Havent had steady temps like you mentioned for more than 5 days straight.
    I may have to tap a tree just for that sound…..oooohhhlala🌌

  5. I tapped maple trees for thirty five years, I had a wood fired evaporator. I got my buckets from a bakery they were two gallon frosting buckets.

  6. The Amish down the road form us did our maples last year, we decided not to allow it this year. I have two lil girls I would like to try this with on our own! You did a great job explaining and sharing it with us! Now I need to get some
    Taps!

  7. The 1st thing ya need, A Maple Tree 😂 Unfortunately don't have any of those. Looks fairly easy and has to be very satisfying getting fresh syrup !

  8. You’re still going way too deep, it’s only 1.5 to 2” actually and that’s way more than 2” and that’s bad for the tree when you go too deep. People think inches are bigger than they actually are.

    Also for everyone, forego the plastic taps. They’re garbage and will always break apart especially in the tree. Plus it’s plastic so the goal is to stop adding so much plastic to the earth. Metal is best always.
