Platanus occidentalis

 
Platanus occidentalis
Probably about two years old here

Common name American sycamore
Family platanaceae
Life cycle tree (Z4-9)
Size 75-100'
Light sun

Large deciduous tree native to the southeastern U.S. It grew as a volunteer in our garden, gaining height quickly over the two or three years I allowed it to persist. Eventually, I had to cut it down, as its location was not conducive to the height and width it would ultimately attain.

This is a weed in our garden
