Massive cliff faces and flood plains shape the extraordinary Delaware River that divides NY and PA. The surrounding landscape has been logged over multiple times and there are few ‘big’ trees left in Sullivan County, NY. This Sycamore is situated in a flood plain along the Delaware River in Port Jervis, NY. Surrounded by Japanese knotweed and freakish multi-stemmed silver maples. Potentially looked over when logging was booming or was used as a landmark while floating timber down the river. Either way, this Sycamore is one of the largest left standing in Sullivan County.
