Sycamore or Arizona Sycamore, botanical name Platanus wrightii, is a Southwestern native that can grow to be a large and majestic deciduous tree with a spreading canopy that can cast cooling shade during those hot and bright summer days, and let the warmth of the sun in when it loses its leaves in the winter! They have beautiful light green leaves, and when it drops its leaves, it reveals a gorgeous white bark that peels back to reveal a mottled patchwork that adds winter interest! We like to plant them as a lawn tree, shade tree and plant them in any spot where it can grow and be enjoyed by the entire family!

Sycamore trees are rugged and thrive in a spot that gets plenty of full sun exposure. Once established, they have low to moderate watering needs, and the roots of these trees are good soil binders so that they can prevent excessive erosion.

The Arizona Sycamore is a favorite tree throughout the Southwest for both homeowners and landscapers alike because of its impressive size, canopies of shade, and subtle beauty.
