Chinkapin Oak
Upon a cursory look, chinkapin oak might look like Chestnut and not like oak because the glossy, yellow-green leaves are smaller than those of most oaks, and their coarsely toothed bear resemblance to Chestnut leaves.

When ripe, the fruit has what can be described as a custard-like texture and the sweet flavor is often said to remind people of honey. This deciduous tree has blue-green leaves that turn yellow and orange in autumn. Grows 30'-50' tall. Full sun and tolerant of most soils. Zones 4-9. Native to PA, 18"-24" tall.
Sycamore
The American sycamore tree is a deciduous tree that grows 75 to 100 feet tall—one of the largest deciduous tree in North America. In addition to height, one characteristic that's special about a sycamore tree is its bark. Outer sycamore tree bark is brown and peels away from the trunk to reveal a lighter inner bark. Sycamore tree leaves are large and divided into three to five lobes with coarsely toothed edges. These tall trees stand guard along streams, protecting stream banks from erosion and providing many ecosystem services. Grows 75–100' tall, 75–100' wide. This species prefers partial to full sun and well-drained or slightly moist soil. Native to PA, Zones 4-9, 12"-18" tall.
