A tree sap collection system which comprises a main conduit extending through a grove of trees with branch conduits extending from the main conduit to each tree. Each branch conduit is connected to the main conduit through a coupling. The coupling includes a plurality of equiangularly spaced-apart connectors with each connector to engage with a separate branch conduit. Each branch conduit terminates in a spout. The spout is to be inserted within a hole formed within a tree. The spout is to be connectable with a closure device when the spout is not in use. The closure device includes a frame which connects with a plug which is located within the access opening of the spout and extends around the exterior of the spout for tightly retaining the plug within the access opening of the spout.
