Where Does Sycamore Grow

Sycamore trees grow in almost any soil, but they prefer deep, rich soil that is moist but well-drained. Plant container-grown trees any time of year. Trees with balled and burlapped roots should be planted in spring or fall.

Why are sycamore trees bad?

Actually, sycamores, Platanus occidentalis (PLAT-uh-nus ock-sih-den-TAY-liss) get a bad rap. Though they grow big and showy, landscapers don’t use them because they can have a lot of tree diseases. Homeowners don’t like them because they shed piles of maple-like leaves and disrupt underground lines.
