THE London Sycamore
About the London
Sycamore :
The London Sycamore tree, Platanus Acerifolia, or
"Bloodgood Sycamore" is a large tree. The tree will
reach a height of 85 feet and a spread of 70 feet.
Pyramidal in youth, it develops a spreading rounded
crown with age supported by a few, very large
diameter branches. The bark is patchy and very
attractive and may be the plants best ornamental
attribute. These patches range from creamy-white to
olive-green. Large sections of bark may be shed from
the tree as it grows older.
This deciduous tree is a fast growing shade tree.
Unlike many other fast-growing shade trees, it’s not
extremely weak wooded and thus isn’t prone to a lot
of limb breakage in ice and snowstorms. London
Sycamore trees are easily transplanted and will do
well in most soils, but prefers a deep, rich soil.
It’s also tolerant of city conditions, air
pollution, compacted soils, and drought. It’s a very
durable tree. As a big tree, it also provides lots
of wonderful shade in parks. |
