L'érable sycomore est un grand arbre, pouvant atteindre 35 m de haut. Sans être véritablement un « bois précieux » (il est classé « bois noble » ou « semi-précieux »), il est recherché par les sylviculteurs qui essaient de le favoriser, car c'est un bois dur et très homogène. Il sert aussi à la construction des violons.
