“Re: Sycamore:

They reproduce by seed mainly. I think each tree has many hundreds of seed balls, and each ball contains hundreds of seeds. I am surprised they haven’t overtaken the world. When the balls hit the roof, they explode and the rain washes them into the spouting. The tree sheds bark. Large pieces of bark. Large crunchy pieces that crackle and crumble when stepped upon, when run over by a mower wheel. The wood is very difficult to split, but it does have a nice fragrance when burning.
