This Tap My Trees 4-pack is the right volume for households tapping 4 maple trees per season. The 4-tree size is a natural step up from the standard 3-tree starter kit — adding one more tree typically increases season yield by 25-30%, and 4 trees in moderate sap flow produce enough sap to justify a slightly larger finishing operation (gallon-can sized rather than quart-jar).
Each stainless steel spile fits a standard 7/16-inch tap hole drilled 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 inches deep at a slight upward angle. The included hook accepts the traditional metal or plastic sap bucket bail, hanging the bucket directly below the spile so collected sap drips into the bucket throughout the day. Tap My Trees is the established American maple sugaring supply brand carried by Lehman’s and most other sugaring suppliers.
Stainless steel construction means no metallic flavor transfer to the collected sap, no rust through wet-dry cycles, and many seasons of usable life. For new sugaring households adding one tree to an existing 3-tree kit, or building a 4-tree starter operation, this is the right purchase. Lehman’s catalog selection.
