Tree question

[mctallerton]

What is the large white tree that is on the north east corner of Lincoln Way and University, want to find a picture of it for a desktop.

if you are talking about the NE corner, it looks like a sycamore to me.

That's the one, thanks

It is definitely a sycamore. I don't even mind getting stopped at that red light since can admire that big old tree.

There are a lot of them on campus, esp along the old Dinkey line...but that one is much bigger.

Are sycamores the trees with leaves the size of dinner plates?

That was an interesting read.

You can buy seedlings of the sycomores found on campus. Don't have the link offhand but I looked into it a while back. There are rather pricey though.

Here is the seedlings info, from a couple months ago...$25+ ea. May be sold out this year but may be doing more...
