Platanus occidentalis, also known as American sycamore, American planetree, occidental plane, and buttonwood, is one of the species of Platanus native to North America. It is usually called sycamore in North America, a name which can refer to other types of tree in other parts of the world. The name is derived from the Greek word πλάτανος (platanos), meaning flat, and from the Latin word occidentalis meaning "of the west." And sycamore is derived from the ancient Greek συκόμορος (sūkomoros) meaning "fig-mulberry".

The Second picture there was a sign written in Greek says it was over 2 1/2 thousand to 3000 years old
