Acer pseudoplatanus (Planetree/Sycamore Maple)

Acer pseudoplatanus, commonly known as Planetree or Sycamore Maple, is a large deciduous tree native to Europe. It has a broad and rounded crown, with smooth gray bark that flakes off to reveal a mottled pattern. The leaves are palmate, with five pointed lobes, and turn yellow in the fall. In spring, it produces clusters of yellow-green flowers that give way to winged seeds known as samaras.
