It's leaves smell like a very bitter lemon/orange/tea mix.

Don't know about the scent, but at a glance it reminds me of a sycamore seedling.

It does look like a Sycamore but I have never noticed that they smell like lemon. Of course, I'm so busy sneezine and choking, I may not have noticed. Smiling

That's it! There is one huge tree that takes up someone's entire property and I remember the seeds falling like snow all over the block from fuzzy balls 😄

I hope that neighbor doesn't react as badly as I do to these trees. The leaves were huge and a foot deep. I had to wear an air mask when raking them up. I couldn't leave the leaves on the ground because they choked everything else out.

We finally cut the tree down - I was the only one in the family willing to rake and the tree practically killed me every winter.

I'm not sure, but I'm donating the seedling to outdoor botanical gardens.

I love sycamores. They're one of my favorite trees.
