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.

Looks good
The tree arrived a little worn for travel of course and it was a couple days before I got it planted I was a little scared it wasn't going to come out of all the stress but it't been planted for 10 days now with lots of new growth can't wait to see how it fairs through the winter.
Exceptionally healthy and thriving sycamore !
The sycamore I ordered and planted in our community garden is thriving beyond my expectations. It has grown by leaps and bounds and will become a magnificent shade tree for the neighborhood to enjoy.
Beautiful Little Tree
So far this tree is doing amazing. Right out of the box it had beautiful green leaves. We planted it the same day. I'm so excited to watch all our trees grow!
Pleased!
I purchased two of the sycamore trees. They came carefully packaged and were healthy. It's been a few months and there is new growth and they are thriving.
Hard to tell
Because of the intense weather we have had since planting my trees they are still trying very hard to keep going and I do see some improvements but noting spectacular to report at this time unfortunately
