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.
