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.

Worth it
Tree packaged very well. Tree very healthy and green when it arrived. The Sycamore has grown about 15 inches since I planted it in May.
Fast and healthy
The trees were delivered fairly quickly, and were healthy and strong. The trees are happily planted and growing many new leaves and small branches
Sycamore
I purchased and planted my Sycamore tree in the spring. It is really growing and filling out nicely. I live near the beach and so far it is holding up to the wind. Good looking tree.
3’ tall but alive
I’ll tell you more if it makes it until next Spring 🤔
