American Sycamore Tree - 3 Gallon Potted

All orders to California will be shipped bare root in accordance with state regulations.

The American Sycamore Tree is one of the largest and oldest North American native trees. Considered a shade tree and an ornamental tree, they can grow just about anywhere in the country and fast!

Because of their fast growth (up to 6’ a year), the American Sycamore is a very popular choice for residential landscaping. The simple, broad, flat, green leaves are palmately lobed. Their foliage provides excellent shade making thick canopy. It is often called a “camouflage tree” because of its mottled bark and yellow-brown foliage in the fall. A mature American Sycamore can grow to an impressive height and width of 75’-100’.

Even though this tree is very adaptable, make sure your sycamore receives full sun and is planted in rich, moist, well-drained soil.
