Description

The American Sycamore is a majestic and robust deciduous tree that adds grandeur and shade to large landscapes.

The American Sycamore is renowned for its massive size, capable of reaching heights of 75 to 100 feet or more, with a broad, spreading canopy that provides ample shade.

How to Plant
STEP 1) First, decide on a planting location. Consider carefully what kind of sun, soil, and growing-space your tree or shrub will need.
STEP 2) Once you've located the perfect spot, the hole you are digging must be at least double the width and as deep as the root system you are planting.
STEP 3) Remove the plant from the pot and place the root ball in the hole. The top of the root system should be level with the ground. Before placing the tree or shrub in the hole, use your hands to gently break up the root system.
STEP 4) Once the plant is in place, backfill the hole with native soil and any leftover potting material.
STEP 5) Pack down the soil to eliminate any air pockets.
STEP 6) When finished, water thoroughly.
Care Guide

To care for the American Sycamore, plant it in moist, well-drained soil where it can receive full sun. This tree is adaptable to various soil types but thrives best in rich, loamy soils. Regular watering is crucial, especially during its establishment phase and in dry periods, to support its rapid growth and overall health. The American Sycamore is relatively low-maintenance once established, but occasional pruning may be needed to remove dead or diseased branches and to maintain its shape.
