Platanus occidentalis
American sycamore
A large, fast-growing deciduous tree that can thrive in a variety of soil types and conditions. With its distinctive peeling bark and large, lobed leaves, it provides a unique visual appeal throughout the year, especially during the fall when the leaves turn yellow.
The sycamore’s broad canopy offers significant shade, reducing cooling costs in the summer by blocking sunlight from your home. It also provides habitat for birds and other wildlife. Ideal for larger yards, the American sycamore grows quickly and can reach heights of 70-100 feet!
