Please explain or cite a source with actual evidence beyond “well if it gets warmer sap will be gone!”

My source is I tap almost a hundred trees on my own property in Southern Maine, and know a dozen other people who also do. ZERO issues with sap production in recent years. Last year was actually excellent, I couldn’t keep up and plan to go to a vacuum system and larger evaporator.

Maple trees in CT still produce sap so I would think we still have 15 or so years before Maine is a barren wasteland for sap production except for northern maine. By 2050 Portland will have around the same weather as Baltimore has today.
