Does it take 9 gallons of sap to make a gallon of syrup?

Hm, nope, but I wish!
It's my understanding, with the exception of pine trees, just about any tree will provide sap with sugar content that you can make syrup from
But maple trees have the highest sugar content
Of those the Sugar Maple has the most with a 40:1 ratio.
Yep, 40:1 Takes 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup.
That's one of the main reasons real maple syrup is quite expensive.
but it is not substituted for in my house. Even if we have to buy it
Which we ultimately have to do just about every year at some point.
We don't use refined sugar, or at least in very small amounts; we go through a couple gallons of syrup a year.

I have a brother who has a small sugar bush but he's only good for maybe a gallon give away per year.
