Young sycamore with rough bark?

[Island Lescure]

Hi,

 

Am I right in thinking that this is a sycamore with a genetic variation away from the norm or is it something different? Is it an old sycamore that grew super slowly? It was next to other sycamores that didn't have this bark type. Why does it only have 2 buds on each end? It should have 3...

Another member of the acer family I should think, reckon someone better qualified will be along to id it shortly😄

i'd leave it a couple of weeks so we can see what a leaf looks like.

 

there are lots of maples that have rough barks so it may be an odd one.

Seen bark like that on sycamore before, but can't say I noticed the buds.

The leaf scars make it look like horse chestnut to me, and the buds would be about right. I expect I'll be proved wrong when it leafs out. Don't know about the paired buds; maybe the terminal bud just didn't develop.

This one is from my garden , Acer pseudoplat Brilliantissimum. So I suspect it is sycamore

I will check out the tree in leaf when I go around that area and get back to you guys
