The sycamore is a tree that lives nearly 400 years and it is a fast-growing tree. It can grow 24 inches in 1 year, and a seedling will reach a height of 10 feet in its first year.

Question

How do sycamores spread their seeds?

Christy

Community Answer

Sycamore seeds look much like maple tree seeds, and they disperse in the same way. The wind catches the wing-like projections and spreads the seeds. They can also dispersed by animals and water.
