American Sycamore. Native to rich, moist soils of Eastern North America, the American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) is also called American plane tree, buttonball or buttonwood. It generally grows to 100 feet tall, but can reach 150 to 170 feet high.
Thereâs no Holy Cow sitting in this sycamore, only a couple of rather agitated blackbirds, but the treeâs creativity is irrepressible. Sycamore seeds, the samara or keys, are formed from a symmetrical cluster of yellowish-green flowers that attract bluebottles for pollination.
