Eskimo Sunset Sycamore Maple
Mike's
Opinion
"
I am still out on judgement of this plant; I do like the Sycamore Maple's form however I am concerned that it can become somewhat aggressive in habitat colonization in North America where I have seen it spread quite rapidly along the shore of Lake Huron. This cultivar has unusual coloured foliage, I wait to see what our young plant will look like: I hope not like Michael Dirr describes "looking like spider mites attacked".
