Platanus occidentalis
Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), also known as the American Planetree, is a large, deciduous tree native to North America, recognized for its towering height and distinctive appearance. It features broad, lobed leaves that turn yellow in the fall. One of its most striking characteristics is its bark, which peels in large patches to reveal a smooth, mottled surface of white, green, and brown, giving the tree an eye-catching look year-round. The American Sycamore thrives in moist, well-drained soils and is commonly found near rivers and wetlands. It provides excellent shade and is often used in large landscapes, parks, and along waterways.
