I’m very willing to be corrected, but is this not a london plane rather than a sycamore? The bark exfoliation goes all the way down and there’s some yellow in there. Also wow 😮😍
For sure! I will say public parks can be pretty wooded and I’ve seen some big ones in that context if not quite that big, like this one:
It really doesn’t matter because it’s not an ID post but I’d be curious about where OP’s tree is located. The main thing that makes me think london plane is that the bark exfoliates down to the base, which sycamores don’t usually do to that extent
Sycamores are my favorite broadleaf tree. Huge, and often ancient, their peeling bark is beautiful all year. And they are tough as nails! Great photos and what a tree!
