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.

Arrived in excellent condition
Healthy beauty. .
My Sycamore tree arrived quickly
My Sycamore tree arrived quickly and was very healthy. I planted a couple of weeks ago and it seems to be thriving. I love it!
Great service , great tree
We ordered this tree and two Weigelas. They came promptly and were very healthy when they arrived. We planted them the next day and look forward to them growing and blooming. Believe it or not our sycamore is the first sycamore on Sycamore Lane! So we have a conversation piece as well.

Incredible Growth
Earlier this spring I ordered an American Sycamore tree, it arrived quickly and when I opened the box I was surprised to find a skinny stick that didn’t look like much. I planted it and BOOM, within the 4 months it has grown up and out over 4 full feet with multiples sets of branches and huge leaves! It will make a great centerpiece for my front yard and I will definitely buy from your team again.
