Sycamores (Platanus spp.) are tall, spreading shade trees. These North American natives have few problems or pests, but their older bark flakes off in patches. If your sycamore is shedding bark, it may be a healthy, maturing tree.
Description. Sycamore trees produce large leaves that have a distinctive deep green. These plumes of leaves grow on branches that can reach up to 175 feet tall. As the leaves measure up to 6 inches long, a fully grown sycamore tree can be one of the densest trees in appearance.
