Hi, are you sure about sycarmore ? Someone told me it is a messy tree.


They have very large leaves, but that is only a consideration in the fall.
I have several and they don't cause any mess. Their relative the London
plane tree (Platanus x acerifolia ) is often used along streets. I've
never read about any problems with them causing a mess. You might consider
that one. It is very tolerant of pollution and salt.

I guess it depends on location and/or variety. In S. Central Texas they drop
leaves constantly and are, indeed, a mess.
