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. London Sycamore trees are easily transplanted and will do well in most soils, but prefers a deep, rich soil. As a big tree, it also provides lots of wonderful shade in parks.
