Description

The listing, Sycamore Tree seeds has ended.

The Sycamore is no shrinking violet. When cultivated in ideal conditions, the tree can grow up to 175 feet tall and 14 feet wide. What's more, the Sycamore's leaves mimic the tree's massive size. The large leaves, which typically measure between 4 and 6 inches long, feature numerous short hairs on the stem and veins which give it a fuzzy appearance. In full bloom the broad, green leaves form a canopy that can exceed 70 feet in diameter. In the fall, the leaves take on a pale yellow color.

Other distinguishing characteristics of the Sycamore tree include:

Trunk: Given the gigantic size of the Sycamore, the tree's trunk often splits near the bottom giving it the appearance of having two trunks.
Bark: The color of the Sycamore's bark pops against most backgrounds. It includes marbleized hues of gray, brown and cream. In addition, the bark's scaly appearance is hard to miss. In fact, the flakiness of the Sycamore's bark led to its nickname: Lacewood.
Branches: The Sycamore's branches are especially eye-catching, as they twist and contort into whimsical shapes. The large branches are wonderful habitats for woodland creatures and children looking for natural hiding spots.
The leaves were just starting to come out when these were taken.

I have a sycamore tree and love it. It's my 2nd one, different proprieties. Grows huge, GREAT shade tree and the leaves are easy to rake or they decompose too. I recommend it to anyone who has room to plant it! Starts from a seed too! My first one was from seeds germinated on the moon! Pretty cool...
