    Is it the same tree? The one of the left looks like a sycamore and the right looks like cherry.

    Looks like a sycamore and a cherry at the same time.

    Someone sent this to me asking if I knew...I thought sycamore, but wanted to ask you guys since I've been wrong a time or two in my life.

    Yes it is from the same tree.

    They's both sycamore if its the same tree. I notice around here the sycamore trunks get real small scaley platy bark and the farther you go up the tree, it turns into the well known white and gray blotches.

    Steve with the way the bark peels it looks more like a river birch to me. You usually see them in landscaping in clumps of three or four together here in So. Dakota. Mark

    What do the leaves look like. That would really tell a story too.

    That's my call, too. Sycamore and black cherry. Two different trees.

    Sorry he didn't have any pics of it with leaves on it. He says it is the same tree, here is a pic of the upper part.

    It may be River Birch, the one on the left looks a little like Sycamore, but not l00% sure on it. Where is the tree located (state)
