American Sycamore Tree – Nature’s Majestic Statement Piece
About the Bloom
The American Sycamore Tree may not produce showy blooms, but its unique bark provides visual interest throughout the year. The bark peels away in patches, revealing a mosaic of colors ranging from white to green to brown. This distinctive feature adds a touch of rustic charm to any landscape, making it a standout choice for those seeking a tree with year-round appeal.
What to Know About the Plant
The American Sycamore Tree is a deciduous tree known for its large, lobed leaves that turn a vibrant yellow in the fall. With a fast growth rate, it can reach heights of 70-100 feet, creating a grand presence in any yard. Its canopy spreads wide, providing ample shade in the summer months, while its sturdy trunk and branches add architectural interest to the overall aesthetic.
Enhancing your Fruitscape
Integrate the American Sycamore Tree into your fruitscape for a touch of natural beauty and structure. Pair it with fruit trees like Apple, Cherry, and Plum to complement its stately appearance with a touch of whimsy. Berry plants such as Blackberries and Raspberries can be planted at the base to add a pop of color and texture. Tropical plants like Pineapple Guava and Passionfruit vines can be trained to climb its sturdy branches, adding an exotic flair to your landscape design. Herbs like Lavender and Lemon Balm can be planted nearby to infuse the air with their delightful scents, creating a multisensory experience for all who visit your garden.

Landscaping with Evergreen Trees
There is nothing more pleasant than the sight of a lush green tree blowing in wind. These trees will keep their leaves year round which really provide an advantage in the landscape. When there are a lot of bare deciduous tree branches in the winter, evergreen trees provide a contrast in the landscape. Evergreen trees are also great for adding year round privacy to your property. Instead of building an unsightly privacy fence, plant an evergreen tree to have a lovely living fence. Use evergreen trees in the back drop of the landscape to provide a foundation for other shrubs and bushes. Evergreen trees also make a beautiful specimen tree that will stand strong and look elegant all year round.
Recommended Fertilizers for Planting and Maintenance
- Starter Fertilizer:  Plant with Espoma Organic Bio-tone® Starter Plus. This will increase root mass and help avoid transplant loss in difficult planting conditions.
- Fertilizer to Maintain: Our Evergreen Tree Varieties do well with Espoma Organic Palm-tone Fertilizer
Growing Guide
Currently, we only have growing guides for our edible plants.  We are working on them for our ornamental & landscaping plants, and will add them in the near future. Contact us if you have questions on how to plant and nurture your Evergreen Trees, and we will be glad to have one of our gardeners assist you.
Ornamental & Landscaping Plants at Just Fruits & Exotics
Although Just Fruits and Exotics has been providing ornamental and landscaping plants to customers at our nursery since we added “Exotics” to our name in the 1990’s, we never had them available to our customers online.
However, September of 2018, with the launch of our updated Just Fruits and Exotics website, we added many of our ornamental and landscaping plants to our online store for our customers nationwide.  We encourage you to “Fruitscape†your yards, mixing edibles and ornamentals to make your own edible garden.

Shipping Information
Before Your Plants Arrive: You can find many guides on unpacking, planting, & care, on our growing guides page.
The Journey From Our Nursery to Your Door: We NEVER ship our plants bare root. Your plant will travel in the very container in which it was nurtured. We thoroughly prune and water them before packing, and make sure they’re well wrapped to retain moisture during transit. It’s as though you’ve personally collected them from our nursery!
Choose Your Ship Date: We understand you’ll want to be available when your plant arrives. Our checkout process features a handy calendar that allows you to choose the Monday on which you want your plant to ship. Depending on your location, you’ll likely receive your plant by Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday of that week. Once shipped, UPS will generate a tracking number and send it to the email you provided. You can then follow your plant’s journey and ensure someone is available to unpack it on arrival day.
