Or water… or anything else with a freezing point that the ambient temperature crosses at night


Oh sorry, I more meant specific to the times when you harvest maple syrup.

If you didn't know, you need to wait to harvest maple syrup until you have a series of days when the daytime temperature is above freezing and the nighttime temperature is below freezing. This causes the maple sap to flow and allows it to collect in the bucket.

That’s pretty cool. Is there anything else that requires a freeze-thaw cycle to harvest?


I'm not actually sure. Maple syrup is all I'm aware of.
