The impressive American Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) tree has unique mottled exfoliating bark, making it easily recognizable. It can grow up to 160 ft tall and 12 ft in diameter. Its strong, heavy wood is often used for furniture and other purposes. The American Sycamore is a popular choice for residential landscaping, as it has a fast growth rate and a thick canopy. However, it's not recommended for street use due to its size and susceptibility to anthracnose. It's native to the eastern half of the United States, where it's typically found growing along streams in deep, rich soil. This tree is an exceptional addition to any landscape, with its beautiful bark and impressive size.
