A maple tree should typically be at least 10 to 12 inches in diameter at breast height (DBH) to be tapped for sap. Trees of this size can usually yield enough sap for a productive tapping. It's also important to consider the tree's overall health; healthy trees can better withstand the tapping process. Generally, one tap is sufficient for trees up to 18 inches in diameter, while larger trees may accommodate two taps.
