I don't live in England (Cornish) & neither does Bodger who lives in Wales.
Yet the Sycamore is as common in these parts of the British Isles as in England.

i have been tree watching round here,york (england)and although there has been quite a few horse chestnuts felled by the"red weeping death" of some horrid fungal infection so far there seems to be no signs of the other recently recorded tree pathogens such as ash dieback and the various "exotic "diseases.

im hoping it stays like that cos there do seem to be a lot of "new"tree killers arriving.

As I said: in English, the sycamore is a maple.

Back to the "living language" debates ... don't forget that you folks saying "nappy" is just a weird neo-logism, and that we Americans saying "diaper" is more true to the past.

At any rate, that tree pictured is an Acer and therefore, diseases that afflict the Platanus genus need not be considered in this case

Probably right, but I heard that sudden-oak death was killing larch...
(that's Quercus and Larix for avoidance of doubt).

You mean tamarack?

& the fungus that causes sudden oak is carried & spread by rhododendron ponticum.

I've just checked the online Cornish dictionary & the translation for oak is Dar down here.
