Description

About the Columbia Sycamore Tree

A widely adaptable and disease-resistant shade tree that makes a statement!

The ‘Columbia’ was developed in 1984 to resist the diseases that so often plagued Platanus Acerifolia. Also called, Buttonwood, Buttonball or American Planetree, this Sycamore is a large tree with a massive, upright trunk and large, crooked spreading white branches that sprout fruit balls with spiky spheres.

How to Grow A Columbia Sycamore Tree

Columbia Sycamore in full sun, with rich soil. It tolerates clay and periodically wet soils. However, once established, it will adapt to a very wide array of soil types.

The Columbia Sycamore grows at a moderate to rapid rate, 2' per year, and is long-lived. These stately landscape trees can grow 75 to 100' with a similar or greater spread. Under ideal conditions, it can attain heights of 175' and may have a trunk 10 to 14' in diameter. This Sycamore is highly resistant to anthracnose and mildew.
