   If anyone has any questions about making Maple Syrup, I am available to 
answer questions.  I've been doing it since 1972 and have used buckets, bags 
and tubing (including vacuum) for collecting sap.  I've cooked it using the 
multiple-kettle-method, large iron pots, commercial (and home-made) 
evaporators.  Right now I'm installing reverse osmosis because I'll be 
working alone this year.  There are other kinds of trees used for making 
syrup.
   Since Maple really isn't a fruit, you should contact me offline.
