I have 1200 trees on tubing, and another member named sugarbush has family that has double that number.

It really is as simple as it seems.

Drill a tap hole. Put the platic spile in the hole. Hook some tubing to it, and string the tubing to the next tree. drill a hole, put a spile in it. cut an 18" piece of tubing, hook it to the spile, attach a "T" to the other end, hook your tubing to it, and go to the next tree.

I only put between 5, and 15 trees on one line, then I put one end in a 55 gallon barrell.
