Acer pseudoplatanus - Sycamore
The sycamore tree is a member of the maple family. In spring its young leaves are often a lovely red or orange colour; however, in autumn sycamores cannot match the colours of other maples. In Wales, sycamore trees can grow to a spread of thirty metres and just as tall.
The flowers are quite distinctive (see below), as also are the seeds, which have wings and tend to rotate like helicopter rotor blades as they fall to the ground in autumn.
