Sycamore
Acer pseudoplatanus

Although not the tallest, this probably is the largest in diameter of trees in the eastern United States. Medium sized tree (60 to 70 feet tall), usually with a wide-spreading crown and short trunk.
The trunk is greyish-brown and smooth, and bears many robust twisting branches, which are bluish-grey in old trees. In spring, the small pale green flowers hang in clusters. Along with field maple and limes, sycamore is the only common tree with insect pollinated flowers and is a vital source of pollen and nectar for bees. The leaves are five-lobed and carried on long stalks. They appear in April and turn yellow before falling in October. The flowers hang down in long, golden-green clusters and appear in May.
The fruit is a winged nut, but the nuts are usually in pairs, so the wings look like aeroplane propellers. They come twisting down in October. Sycamore is a deciduous species - the large palm-shaped leaves on their long stalks fall off as winter approaches
The timber is creamy-white in colour, hard and strong, clean and free from unpleasant smells or tastes, making it ideal for uses associated with food. It is widely used for furniture making and joinery and is excellent for flooring. The hard, strong timber can be worked to a very smooth finish but it is not durable out-of-doors without preservative treatment..It is used for making such things as kitchen utensils and table-tops, and also as flooring.
