About the American
Sycamore :
The American Sycamore, Platanus occidentalis, is
a very adaptabe and rugged tree. American Sycamore
trees are fast growing, large shade trees with a
massive trunk and a have a wide-spreading open crown
of large crooked branches. This deciduous tree has a
smooth almost white bark when mature. The bark will
flake off in irregular thin pieces which give
American Sycamore trees an impressive mottled
appearance.
Sycamore trees have light green colored leaves
that turn golden in the fall providing contrasting
fall color. The American Sycamore has moderate water
requirements and exhibits a moderate tolerance to
salt and alkali soils. It is a very popular city
tree for adverse urban conditions and soils. |
