QUESTION  Question  Does my tree grow any seeds or flowers  Answer  Yes people call them helicopters. You can flick them and they whirl to the ground

INFO AND INFECTED TREES Infected trees some times have to be cut down or they will wilt Once it is cut down you can count the rings on the stump and this will tell you how old it is Facts Sycamore trees are very common in Ireland They grow very fast

THE SEASONS  In Autumn the leaves on the sycamore tree turn red,yellow, orange and brown and begin to fall off. This is because there is less sunlight in Autumn.  In Winter there are no leaves on the tree  In Spring time the buds start to grow on the tree and leaves start to grow again  By summer time the tree is full of green leaves
