Sycamore
SPECIES: Platanus occidentalis
The range of sycamore extends from southwestern Maine west to extreme southern Ontario, southern Wisconsin, Iowa, and extreme eastern Nebraska; south to south-central Texas; and east to northwestern Florida and southeastern Georgia. It also occurs in the mountains of northeastern Mexico.
Sycamore is found in quantity only in bottomland forests, particularly of elm-ash-cottonwood. It usually occurs singly or in small groups. It is a major pioneer species in the floodplains of large rivers.
In the Southeast pure stands of 40 to 100 acres are sometimes found. In the northern states sycamore is rarely the dominant species. Author: Admin :: Hits: 3 :: Added: Fri Jun 15 2007 ::
