Scott, 

Thanks. Those are big trees. The John Goodway Sycamore looks roughly comparable 
to the Sunderland tree. How far up does it branch.

Here are the Pennsylvania sycamores. The 27' cbh x 93 might be our 
biggest volume, or the fort Hunter Sycamore that is 22.4x122? 

The John Goodway Sycamore is 24.4 x 107 with a 166' max spread? 

The state champ is a coppice at 31'+cbh 107' tall and a 161' spread. 
The four trunks are each 10-11' circumference. Alot of wood there.
