Generally the sap starts to flow between mid-February and mid-March. The exact time of year depends upon where you live and weather conditions. Sap flows when daytime temperatures rise above freezing (32 degrees Fahrenheit / 0 Celsius) and nighttime temperatures fall below freezing. The rising temperature creates pressure in the tree generating the sap flow. This is basically a transfer of the sap from the tree above the ground and the root system below the ground. The sap generally flows for 4 to 6 weeks, with the best sap produced early on in the sap-flowing season.
These conditions are not met in the fall and the sap quits running in less than 6 weeks after it starts as stated above due to rising temperatures.

Why is maple sap collected in the spring not fall?
Maple sap is collected in the spring because this is when the temperature fluctuations between warm days and cold nights create the ideal conditions for sap flow. As temperatures rise, the sap begins to flow up from the roots to nourish the tree as it prepares to bud. In the fall, the tree is focused on storing energy and nutrients, and the sap is not flowing in the same way, making it unsuitable for collection. Additionally, the chemical composition of the sap changes throughout the year, with spring sap being optimal for producing maple syrup.
