I don't see much similarity between sweetgums and Sycamores.
Different leaves, bark, fruit, everything. Our Austin sycamores
are concentrated mostly in the older areas of town. Don't know
if they are mostly American or Mexican sycamores. Looks to me
as though they were the tree to plant in the 1950's, as the
Arizona Ash (ugh!) became the tree to plant in the 1970's.

And 80's. I think mine in front date from the house, which is 1985.
