Plastic tubes for collecting birch sap are the simplest way to collect tree sap. They are lightweight and suitable for repeated use. Stainless steel tubes are distinguished by increased strength and durability. They can be boiled after use, which kills all harmful bacteria and prevents the transmission of diseases from tree to tree.
Birch and maple sap collection kits usually include a tube, a holder or hook, as well as a plastic sap bag or a bucket with a lid. Such a kit is easy to take with you, and its installation will take less than a minute.
A hand drill or a cordless drill can be used to drill a hole in the trunk.
The silicone tube and hook allow you to attach a bottle with a swing-top stopper to the trunk and connect the birch sap collection container to the plastic tube.
