Can I just add, if people try this technique,they should always always seal the hole up afterwards. For two reasons.
One desease can get into the tree,
Two some birches have been known to bleed to death.
With care you can harvest from the same tree for years and years without a problem.
You can seal the hole back up with either a wooden plug cut to fit, or Natural Bees or Grafting wax.
Takes only a few seconds to do.
Great Videos!

Great Video Sean.
I do it a little different as i mahe a hole with my knife and insert a twig with a kink in to the hole.
The kink acts a a dripper and goes in to my tin
when I am finished i snap or saw my twig to fill the hole this stops any damage to the tree and it heals quite nicely.

@TorDruid The first three weeks of march is your best bet. If you have a harsh winter then it may vary.

Good one Sean, thank you.

Great video! thnkx 4 posting! This is my first year tapping birch trees & i was wondering why some sap is a golden color like apple juice ? is it still drinkable?

I have recently been tapping Birch...my method: drill a hole in the tree, stick a straw in the hole...and there you go, I usually drill about four holes around the same area of the tree.

you cant do it with paper birch right ?
noor121212121212 2 years ago
If you mean silver birch, which has a paper like bark you can. If you mean the Himalayan Paper birch I do not know. I would guess so but I cannot say for sure.
