Where the bark is not smooth, it is usually rough and flaky, resembling a layer of broken scales. Sycamore trees are also distinguished by their large patches of smooth bark, which has a creamy "camo" appearance from its mix yellow, tan, and gray. Like the sweetgum and the yellow-poplar, the sycamore has leaves that are alternate in arrangement.
However, when mature, those lobes extend beyond four inches in size. Like maple leaves, sycamore leaves are divided into three to five shallow lobes. They are also, of course, used for their syrup, especially in North America where the maple leaf appears on the Canadian flag. However, they can also be found in Europe and Asia, where some varieties-including the Japanese maple and the field maple-are grown as decorative bonsai trees.īecause of their beautiful coloring, maples are often grown as ornamental trees. Maples are among the most shade-tolerant deciduous trees and thrive in areas with cooler temperate climates such as Canada and the northern United States. Most maple trees are between 30 and 150 feet tall, with flowers that are yellow, orange, red, or green. The maple is a genus with about 128 different species, including the vine maple ( Acer circinatum), hornbeam maple ( Acer carpinifolium), and paperbark maple ( Acer griseum). Other trees with "maple-like" leaves-the sycamore, sweetgum, and yellow-poplar-have leaves that are alternate in arrangement. and they have an opposite leaf arrangement. Each lobe is less than four inches in size. The major maples have leaves that are divided into three to five lobes.
