The sycamore tree is an immense durable tree with a rapid growth rate and expansive root system. It has an upright, pyramidal crown when young and as it matures develops a rounded, irregular form, with a scaffold of large diameter branches. The most unique feature of the sycamore tree is its camouflage-looking bark.
Mature Height/Spread: American sycamore is a massive tree that can grow 75 to 100 feet tall with a similar or greater spread. Under ideal conditions, it can grow to 175 feet high with a trunk diameter of 10 to 14 feet. It has a pyramidal form when young but develops a spreading, rounded, and irregular crown with age
The first step in planting a sycamore tree is to choose the right location. The tree will need plenty of space to grow, so make sure to choose a spot that is at least 20 feet away from any other trees or structures. The tree will also need full sun and well-drained soil.
What did Jesus say about the sycamore tree?
In that verse, Jesus told His disciples, “… If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.”

These trees I purchased from Ferguson Tree Nursery , they are tall, grown from seed planted 2 years ago and are over 6 feet now, the leaves are incredibly huge, look a bit like a maple tree, interesting story in the bible about them.
