Big Leaf!

Sycamore Leaf. Size 11.5 4eee Shoe. Biggest one I remember seeing. I was setting 3 traps for a Armadillo and found that.

My favorite tree

Have two big ones, one on the east side and one on west side of a home. And next to those two is a 70ft tall Willow Oak, that has a 60 to 65ft wing span. I like big trees.

I like them, sycamore was a word that I always heard but never saw until I lived here. They remind me of big leaf maples.

Planted a sycamore “switch” 1980 on my daughter’s birth. It’s at least 60’ tall today with leaves like that. It’s on the fence with the goats. They LOVE those leaves.

Once you see their seed cases, you’ll know they’re pretty different. They are related though.

Totally different Order, similar ecology though.

I love working with sycamore wood in my wood shop; it’s a pretty soft wood, but the grain can be quite striking, especially if it’s riddled with fungus (“spalted”). Here’s a river pour table with sycamore wood framed with walnut.
