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.

Delighted!!
This purchase was to replace a sycamore that I lost this spring. I adore planting trees and to lose one. . . well, I take it quite personal. So excited that Fast Growing Trees had one in stock to offer another chance. It arrived in great shape. Looks beautiful and happy.

American Sycamore
It arrived in good condition and was very healthy. I planted it right away and have been watering it about every other day. It has already grown about 3 inches since I planted it about three weeks ago! I am very pleased with my purchase and plan on buying some Crape Myrtles too! Thanks!
American Sycamore
Just received my American Sycamore. I bought two of them 5 years ago and they are absolutely beautiful. Can’t wait to plant this one tomorrow.
