Not worth it in my opinion. Sycamore are not ideal for bonsai due to their large leaves and even if they were this one is still just a sapling and will need to be grown on for years before you can start thinking about turning it into a bonsai tree. |

Sycamore grow like weeds. I remove several from my garden each year and throw them away. They're a bit invasive in the UK and not truly native. |

Sycamores are usually very tolerant of being pruned and wired and I've used them to 'experiment' on many times. |

Overall worth a play - I've got one like that. Not worth it at all if your benches are full of good stuff and you need the room. |
