Ok, I will use our local nature reserve for my reply. There is an area called the walnut tree plantation (has 2 walnut trees in it lol), it has a lot of sycamores in it, that is where that strange fungi I found came from, anyway the sycamores are really trying to take over in there and there are voluntary groups who go in there and remove loads of the younger ones. I am in favour of this, because the woodland is managed and we need a mixed habitat, to support the most wildlife.
If the sycamores were growing on farmland, where the farmer lets things be, then let the sycamores have there way.
