What kind of tree drops those spiky brown balls?


Question:they start green then they turn all brown with holes in them, i hate them! what type of tree is it?

Answers:
I believe it is the SWEET GUM TREE...those things hurt when you walk on them!


sweet gum or sycamore
Sycamore, we used to call them porcupine eggs.
liquidambars styraciflua - The Sweet Gum. They do turn beautiful colors in the fall - quite varied and unique.
those are not from Sycamore trees...we have two Sycamore trees and zero gum balls
they are not called gum balls for no reason
Sweet gum tree sounds right
