we dont have cold enough winters. I beleive you need sustained tempatures under -6 degress C for the trees to send the sap down the trunk

parents have a red leaf canadian maple in the garden so looked into tapping it.
the green leafed maple tree is the one to tap while you can tap a red.

Anyway its more the regular changing of cold temperature to a less cold temperature that gets the sap running in the winter.
