my brother does syrup every year up in Vermont.

It took 75 gallons of sap out of about 60 trees to make 5 gallons of syrup.

Can you extract maple sap from any maple tree?

My understanding is you need a lot of trees to produce a usable amount of syrup

That's about right. 12:1 ratio trees to gallon of syrup.
