California SycamorePlatanus racemosa
The California Sycamore is a majestic native with a rapid growth rate. In expansive landscapes, it can make a fine specimen tree. Standout features include a peeling, mottled trunk; a spreading crown; heat and wind tolerance; and enormous size.
While it is a beautiful tree, a number of factors should be considered when planting it, including size, fruit, dense branching, roots and moisture requirements.
