Is that a sycamore? Leaves look a bit more maple-y?

Do garden centres normally have sycamores in stock?

Only of the weed tree variety. Seedlings from helicopter seeds that have landed in untended pots.

I can imagine some sort of geordie del boy turning up in the nearest car park with a van load of sycamore seedlings that have been pulled out of a woodland/waste ground and rammed into pots

 

"why aye man, come and get your official sycamores here £10 each or 2 for £20"

 

Like a stall selling love locks next to a busy bridge

Why does it need to be sycamore anyway a   scots pine could look good

Leyland Cypress would be good, at least you can buy that in a garden centre

What about a tree made from Steel? Like the Angel of the North?

 

It could have lights shining on it that changed colour to support whatever cause was fashionable that month. Rainbow,pink,etc.

I vote it be replanted with Carya ovata (shagbark), Hyptis capitata (knobweed), or Kegelia africana (the sausage tree).

Not sure I'd want to visit if it was Rubus Cockburnianus gap
