I have two large sycamores in the back yard. Very nice for shade, but
quite a mess when they shed the bark.



They're very good at crushing garages, too, as I learned during the 1993 ice
storm here, when the sycamore at my previous house tossed a telephone
pole-size branch onto my neighbor's property. His freestanding garage looked
like a giant foot stomped it. The structure needed to be replaced anyway, so
my neighbor was quite pleased.
