| Description | American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), also known as American planetree and buttonwood, is a fast-growing, large deciduous tree. It has a wide-spread and irregular shaped crown. The bark of this tree is brown to light gray and takes on a camo-type pattern, flaking off to reveal striking white inner bark. It provides excellent habitat and food for wildlife, especially songbirds. This species is flood tolerant and moderately resistant to deer damage. Sycamore can also be tapped for syrup. | |
