Apparently eating the leaves or fruit of the first tree can be fatal as demonstrated by the poor victim in the background.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, folks!

I will be careful of the sycamore. The baby is never more than two inches away from me when we're outside so he's not eating the leaves or anything. Thanks again.

Liquid Amber is for sure the one with the spikey things - I am looking at one in my front yard right now. Every year when it drops those little things I have to make sure and keep the sidewalk clear of them as they can for sure knock a little kid off their bike! This tree is the only one I know here in Long Beach that really signals fall - the leaves actually change color! Very nice.
