He strips all the sycamore trees and other trees from the top when they are about 8 or 10 years old.
We have more success with sycamore than with alder and birch.
I have had to do with hardwood for furniture—walnut, sycamore, chestnut and oak.
I have a sycamore that can be seen by all and sundry.
In the present work, there was a limited increase in lipid peroxidation prior to viability loss in sycamore, but values were no greater than those experienced during development.
Sycamore seeds are dormant and at the desiccation tolerant end of recalcitrant behaviour, and this may account for their different response compared with seeds of other recalcitant species studied.
Perhaps it is significant that, unlike most other recalcitrant seeds, sycamore seeds reached maximum dry weight some time before shedding, similar to that in orthodox seeds.
Sycamore seeds retained viability during drying to approx. 30% moisture content, and then viability declined to zero with further drying to 10%.
