Yes, Christine, it is. We locals call it Buttonwood. I rarely use the name 
Sycamore.

And that Buttonwood is one of the most beautiful trees I've ever seen. I had a 
feeling all you guys would enjoy seeing it!

The Pittsgrove Sycamore is very impressive.  I am only picking up the thread 
here so forgive me if I'm reviewing old territory.  I grew up in Rumson N.J. 
and near us was a road called Buttonwood Lane.  The whole lovely road was lined 
with enormous towering majestic Sycamores.  Is Buttonwood a provincial name for 
Sycamore in N.J.?  Maybe I'm finally learning why it is called Buttonwood Lane!

I have finally found the scans of the pictures of this tree. This was on a 
rural roadside in Upper Pittsgrove Township, Salem County, NJ. I can give a 
more exact location if needed. I think it would be cool to have this tree 
measured.
This is one of the largest Sycamores I've ever seen. This one not only has 
girth, but it has some height to it also.
I was in awe when I was near this one. I photographed it sometime in 2007 or 
2008. I can't remember for sure.  
I think this tree is just crying to be measured! Just look at it! Too bad I 
travel alone, or I could have had a person stand with it for the photo.

P.S.- I normally refer to these trees as Buttonwoods, but for the purposes of 
this group I call them by their more proper name, Sycamores.
