Maple Syrup Production: Sugar Yield Per Tree

Commercial Reality

  • Tree must be ~40 years old, ≥10″ diameter for one tap.
  • Season: 4–6 weeks (Feb–Apr).
  • Sap to syrup ratio: ~40:1.
  • Average yield: 0.2 gallons syrup per tap per season (US average).

What This Means

One 10″ maple → ~0.2 gal syrup/year. Need many trees for meaningful production. Sugar content varies by tree, site, weather.
