1 Live Plant American Sycamore Tree 12 Inches Platanus occidentalis Bare Root

The American Sycamore is a large, fast-growing deciduous shade tree recognized for its distinctive mottled bark that peels to reveal cream, tan, and olive patches beneath. Its broad, maple-like green leaves turn golden in autumn, and it develops into a long-lived specimen with a commanding, rounded crown that suits spacious yards, parks, and naturalized areas.

This tree works well as a single focal specimen or in a row along a property edge where its size can be appreciated. It is a moisture-loving species that performs best in deep, rich soils near streams or low ground, and it grows vigorously once established. Plant bare root stock while dormant for the strongest start.
