Being the most common tree in America doesn't make the sycamore any less awesome.

They're big and their canopy is lush. Their limbs are all twisty and knobbly. They've got huge leaves that sound amazing blowing in the wind or crunching underfoot. The colloquialism for their seedpods is hilarious and the pods themselves are almost as cool as sweetgum seed pods.

Just some great trees all around.
