Before I moved to my current yard I asked if there was any sycamore trees - I was told only 1 on the property and in a field far away from where we'd be.
Stupidly I didn't look closely enough when I walked round the field when I viewed the yard and missed that there is in fact several sycamore trees in/around the summer field.
Currently in the winter field (No sycamores) but wondering how much I should be panicking about the sycamores come spring and moving fields, and whether I ought to be moving yards?
(As far as I can tell, short of testing the trees at huge £££, there's no way of telling if these particular ones are an issue, and although horses may have grazed nearby for years with no problem, that doesn't mean there won't be a problem in the future. Which isn't very positive really)
