Acer pseudoplatanus - Sycamore

Acer pseudoplatanus - Sycamore

Sycamore is a common maple in Britain. It form a humungous dome. I found this example in Longford park.

The leaves grow up to 15cm and turn dark green after Spring.

The starts smooth and grey but becomes cracked and flakey when mature.

Tall robust trunk.

Flowers hang in long clusters and start to appear in April.
