Sycamore tree
Sycamore is Europe's largest maple, which can grow upto 25 plus metres. It can withstand salty winds and so is useful in coastal planting. A useful windbreak so is often seen in parts of Scotland especially around farmhouses. Propagation is easy using freshly picked seed. Maturing quickly, it can be felled for valuable timber within 60 years, but the life expectancy is near to 200 years. The sycamore is easy to work with and does not warp. Plants are shade tolerant at first but become light demanding in the post thicket stage. A common fungus called 'tar spot' may attack and disfigure the leaf but this does not harm the tree.
