I think those Sycamore trees are Plane trees, but their botanical history is about as messy they are.

Well I'll be damned, the Sycamore and the Plane tree are not related. I wonder if we have Plane trees over here and I just assumed they were Sycamores.
And the Sycamore is a Maple! I think I need to lie down.

We saw some big Sycamores at the Trexler Nature Reserve over the weekend but I brought neither camera nor phone so trust me.
Nice pics!

I read somewhere years ago that a London plane tree is a cross between a maple and a sycamore. And that sycamores and maples are related. Was I misinformed?
