Thoughts on this sycamore please

[treequip]

Yes, the trunk does but not the smaller branches?

 

All the bark will eventually go to plates, its just a function of the girth increments, anecdotally some specimens do seem more prone to it than others

[Stubby]

Just a guess but possibly a field maple ? ....

[geoff]

Did the customer climb the tree to take the pictures????

 

Fine question!

 

It's an older syc, as said they do scale up.

The bud looks sycamore but for the size of the limbs you wouldn't expect it to be the scaley? The bark looks more Malus. But obviously not.....

Something about it doesn't ring true for sycamore.

having had a closer look i'm starting to think it's no sycamore now...

 

could it be a liquidambar???

 

they are quite scaly all over...

Thanks for all your input everyone. I am going to see them tomorrow for a site visit as i agree they are rarely correct i just wanted some info from other individuals than just my own thoughts. I guess the customer slung the ladders up for them pics. Cheers everyone

They're more fissured than platy innit?
