Re: Spring is coming, no sycamore

One of the more interesting sycamores I've seen is the one planted on the National Institutes of Health campus. They claim it was grown from a root cutting from the tree that Galen lectured under. Don't know it it's true [would your government lie to you?], but that's what the brass plaque said [until someone stole the plaque].

I wonder if this is due to the false idea it needs lots of moisture.
I bet that is the case. I got mine from a member of our county forestry
group. They are being given away to residents of this county. I asked the
moisture and was told that was not necessary. As to the sycamore, I know they are
not desirable in urban areas and that their leaves are the size and color of
paper bags in the fall, but I think they are the prettiest trees in the forest.
My yard is a flat acre pretty evenly divided on either side of my house. I
have the room for a sycamore and don't mind the "litter." I really hope the
deer don't eat them all.
