The Fastest-Growing Symmetrical Sycamore
Why American Sycamore Trees?
The American Sycamore is very popular for residential landscaping because of its extremely fast growth. In fact, the American Sycamore can gain up to 6 feet per year, growing a thick canopy that provides tons of shade quickly.
You can count on your American Sycamore to grow into a full, symmetrical tree. The tree's many branches develop large green leaves that turn to gold in the fall, offering good looks and dense growth. This makes it excellent for shielding your home from hot summer weather or allowing in plenty of sun during winter when you need it most. And the Sycamore develops smooth, white bark in the winter, adding additional seasonal interest when other trees look drab.
So, it’s an energy and money-saver. Even better is the fact that it’s easy to grow too…adaptable to moist soil types, thriving in both warm and cold climates, and growing well with just a bit of water and sun.

Great tree so far
I ordered the 5-6 ft tree and it shipped quickly. It does look a bit like a stick with a leaf on top when you pull it out of the box but I got it in the ground same day and after about a week it has had tons of new growth. I’m excited to watch it thrive and explode with growth in the coming years.
sycamore tree

Purchased this tree in the
Purchased this tree in the spring, it is doing well and growing, loves the southern Alabama climate .
My Sycamore tree is doing great!
I ordered a 4-5 foot American Sycamore tree from Fast Growing Trees, and I'm glad I did. I was in need of a tall shade tree and the spot gets 6-7 hours of sun a day. It arrived in great condition, other than a little tired from shipping. I was impressed by the size and quality of the tree. The branches were well established and spaced. I planted it the day after arriving. It's been about a month now and it has already added 3 inches of new growth! I'm extremely happy with my Sycamore and look forward to the shade it will provide. Thank you for a wonderful tree!
all good so far!!
the sapling is nice and tall. . . but a bit spindly. . . . would have expected a sturdier trunk for 6' tall sapling. . . . have planted it in the ground and it seems happy. . . . fingers crossed for now. . . . . .
