Fresh American Sycamore Tree Seeds and Fast Free Ship The American Sycamore is generally acknowledged as the largest tree indigenous to eastern North America. Also known as the American Planetree and Buttonball Tree, this extremely large and fast growing shade tree displays very unique bark. Many describe its bark as looking like camoflauge. The older bark on the trunk naturally exfoliates, leaving a patchwork of greens, browns and yellows against a background of white. The large leaves resemble Maple leaves. Make sure you have plenty of room to let this tree grow. Commonly reaching over 100' tall, the American Sycamore can live for hundreds of years. This tree is a great choice along the edge of streams or lakes, in wetland and floodplain areas, and is regularly used to reclaim old strip mines and other hard to grow areas with saturated and compacted soils.
