Sycamore Tree
- The sycamore is thought to have been introduced from France in the Middle Ages.
- The flowers provide a good source of pollen and nectar for bees and other insects, and the seeds are eaten by birds and small mammals.
- In some parts of the UK, the winged seeds are known as ‘helicopters’ and used in flying competitions.
