Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: S2In the spring of 1967, a vacuum pump was installed at a sugarbush located in Underhill, Vermont. This work proceeded in two phases: an individual-tree study designed to determine if sap could be drawn out of a tree in sufficient quantities to account for large yield differences; and a large-scale study of the effects of sustained levels of vacuum on yields from a nearly commercial-size network of tubing.
