Tree Acer pseudoplatanus native to Europe.
The leaves are five-lobed, and the hanging
racemes of flowers are followed by winged
fruits. The timber is used for furniture
making. The sycamore was introduced to
Britain by the 16th century. It is a rapidly
growing and tenacious tree that displaces
other trees in woodland.
