Hello All,

Does anyone know if Sycamore trees grow in Russia? For example in the region
between Stalingrad (volgograd now) and the Caucus oil fields?

Thanks

Amy

Surely there are both Acer and Platanus species there

It will help if you know the correct botanical name. do you mean Platanus
orientalis, Acer pseudoplatanus, or what?

Im not a botanist by trade, so Im a little unsure. Im talking about the tree
with the seeds that spiral to the ground, I always thought they were called
Sycamore, but dont know the species...

Thanks for any help

That would be a species of maple, Acer. Some species have the common
name of Syacamore.

The most common trees with "seeds that spiral to the ground" are maples. The
fruit of the maple (the seed and its wing) is called a samara. If you ran
across a tree with that type of fruit that was called a sycamore, it is
probably the sycamore maple, Acer pseudoplatanus. You will have to do a search
on that name to find out if it is found in Russia. There are many other maple
species that grow in that part of the world.

Flora Europaea has Acer pseudoplatanus present in west and central
Russia. I assume that that doesn't include the area north of the
Caucasus, but I don't have the definition of their Russian regions to
hand.
