Fruit will start to appear on the tree during the Fall, usually in October depending on climate. These fruits will split open to release seeds and will remain on the tree until it is cold and blustery outside, often through Winter. Interestingly enough, one tree can produce 10,000 seeds per season. Most people know these seeds as "helicopters" because of the propeller wing that forms to help the propagation and spreading process. They are often symbols of strength and eternity so that a sycamore seedling will add an element of peace and consistency to any garden.
