In America the sycamore refers to Platanus occidentalis, but in Europe the sycamore is a maple, Acer pseudoplatanus. I don't know of anything in the UK or Europe called a lace bug that attacks our sycamore. Aphids can be a problem, the flowers are sometimes infested with rape seed beetles. -E |

The sycamore lace bug or Platanus lace bug (Corythucha ciliata) is not native to the UK but a CSL report indicates that it has spread to central and southern Europe and in late 2006 infestations were discovered in Bedfordshire on London plane (Platanus x acerifolia) and oriental plane (P. orientalis) trees imported from France and Italy. -- rbel |
