    That’s cool. There’s a really large Sycamore in Sunderland MA called the Buttonball tree. Oddly enough I saw a Sycamore today in my work town that is huge. It has got to be 5-5.5’ across. A huge canopy. I’ll have to get some pics.

    Thats cool. Almost looks as though the tree is eating the rock! Did a garage roof one time where an elm tree was engulfing the edge.

    Yeah that's a nice area of the state. Lots of farmland and open space. Right around the corner is a hiking trail that'll bring you to a big tower up on the ridge in the background with a nice view of Bloomfield, Avon, Hartford and beyond.

    Those are my two boys at the base of the tree, back in early May 2017.

    Here is a big Pine I came across while bird hunting a few weeks back, about 2 miles off the road in the middle of the Chequamegon National Forest in North Central Wisconsin. [​IMG][​IMG]

    Here is the Sycamore I saw yesterday. Originally I thought 5-5.5', but looking again I think it may be closer to 6' diameter. Huge, huge, tree. Pics don't really do it justice

    I also saw this huge burl. Almost wrapped around the whole tree
