How many trees would I need to produce 30 gallons of syrup per year?
This will vary depending on sugar content and size of the trees. Let s say you have trees that average 2% sugar content and you have trees large enough for two taps per tree. Using the “Rule of 86,” you know that the number of gallons of sap you need to produce one gallon of syrup is equal to 86 divided by the percent sugar of 43 gallons of sap.
