I am not a certified Arborist, but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn last night!
Only more of one thang will make one more right.
Except for a small few tree types, it ain't temperature that causes sap to start running, or leaves to fall, or whatever... it's the ratio of daylight to darkness that does. As the days get longer the trees start waking-up, as the days get shorter the trees go to sleep... temperature has nothing to do with it. As I started this post though, there are a small few that will react to temperature... I believe some of the soft maples do.

So you admit, you're wrong then?
This sure gets my sap flowing, deep drilling required.Only more of one thang will make one more right.
Yep, we've got some large operations here too. We don't refer to trees, we refer to the number of taps in an operation. A very large and healthy Sugar Maple could have many taps, perhaps approaching a half dozen.Sorry Spidey - you're wrong. It's all about the temps.
We tap 30,000 trees here, been around maple all my life (I'm over 50).
I don't know about trees so much, but after living in the south for awhile after growing up in Nebraska, the fish are definitely larger down south. I believe it's because of the warm water. I have a friend that lives farther northeast, and the bass and walleye are smaller up there he says. I think the warmer water longer in the year allows the fish to grow larger. I noticed while living in the south, the womens breasts seem to be larger there also. I sure miss that
