Sycamore trees line the Shenandoah River as it meanders through my native Virginia, offering inner-tubers the opportunity to climb preariously out over the extended branches and dive into the murky waters below. Sycamore and London Planetree are quite similar and used interchangeably. They are incredibly fast growing with large leaves that resemble Maple. The most unique characteristic is the harlequin bark, which peels and exfoliates to reveal camouflage trunk and branches. Planetree are quite messy however, and should be used sparingly in residential landscapes. They drop cottony seed balls that clutter the ground and blow about the yard. They have shallow roots that disrupt the lawn, and are constantly dropping sticks and twigs like a Willow tree. Still, for large properties with prairie areas or expansive mulch beds, London Planetree offer a unique conversation piece and added diversity.
