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.
White birch is easy to identify with its distinctive, white, papery bark. The sycamore tree also has white bark, but it does not sluff off in thin, paper-like furls like the white birch. The sycamore also has large hand-shaped leaves versus the white birchâs smaller, oval-shaped leaves with a pointed tip. The birch leaf is also irregularly toothed.
