| As it's late in the year for this kind of thing, I would definately keep it moist (it looks a little dry right now.) Keep it out of direct sunlight and give it a low nitrogen fert (should it resume active growth) just before the fall leaf change. |

| I got one of the leaves and checked it against a tree recognition site and it certainly looks like a sycamore |

Thats what first made me think it wasn't sycamore. It may just be that the 2 dimensional photo is distorting things, but the leaves don't look big enough for sycamore |

That's a picture of one of my sycamores taken a couple of years back.
It shows the variance in leaf type on one tree...
sometimes younger leaves are more pointed then the round off some times the other way round |

I don't know much about sycamore but the leaves certainly don't look like field maple.
Is it 3 trees or just 1 planted very deep? |
