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.

Hope it grows. . .
The 3-4 ft "trees" we got were nothing more than long sticks in the dirt. I do see a couple of tiny buds on the end, hopefully something grows.
Super healthy tree
We purchased an American Sycamore here last year (2024) and planted it in the fall. It came as a VERY tall single stick about 4-5 ft tall with 3 huge leaves on top. Funniest thing I ever saw! It thrived thru our Delaware winter and this year shot up about 4 ft and developed its side branches. Now it's dormant again and about 10' tall. I can't wait to see how much it grows next year! Would definitely buy from here again!
SIX SEVENNNN
I really loved my six-seven-foot tree. It really was six to seven feet, just as advertised! I had to reread the height six or seven times just to grasp it, I was truly baffled. Now that I've bought six or seven of these trees, I can truly say that these were the best out of all six to seven trees I've bought in my life.
Love the sycamore~
Super
