Really hate views like this ... currently working in a forest school trying to sort out ash with die back .. the only tree that is here because some bright spark has felled all the sycamore planted at the same time I guess because they carried this view... there won’t be a forest school here in two years time because of this blind view that sycamore is invasive and non native.. I can think of so many plantations that I have worked in and been instructed to fell all sycamore over the last 20 years and they now they will have nothing.. sycamore in my view is an amazing and beautiful tree! Makes great fire wood and seasons fast.
I don’t agree with it being non native either...if it’s been here since 1500’s
Probably the most iconic tree locally to me tooIMG_4527.jpg

Is the photo of Sycamore on Hadrians Wall?

Exactly . How far do you have to go back before something is NOT non native . Take it back to its logical conclusion everything would be " non native "  tress animals and eventually man .

I'm no expert, but I was told the reason Sycamore is not considered native is its seeds are not found in our fossil record, so weren't here before the last ice age, but someone once told me the seeds are "gelatinise" so would leave no fossil record.

 

Anyway I love em, great trees, the greenfly not so much.

I think it implies not introduced by man.
Rabbits, field maples, carp, all non native.

Yea I understand that , same with pheasants and the Ruddy Duck .  Like some villages round here . You could live there for 60 - 70 years but if you were not born there you are an outsider .  What I am saying is somewhere down the line things have got to be accepted as native .  Who introduced man to this planet ...?
