Bloodgood London Sycamore
General Information
Bloodgood London Sycamore is a great tree that fits well in many different landscape settings. It is a large tree, 70 foot tall, so it must be sited with care. Being so tall and wide, this makes for an excellent shade tree. It grows in a broadly pyramidal fashion, with nice branching, giving the tree a good, full look. This full canopy creates great cover and nesting areas for birds. The leaves for the tree are large, with a similar appearance to maple leaves. The leaves have a good dark green color during the growing season, before turning a nice yellow color in the autumn. The bark of the tree creates a good deal of interest as well. The outer bark is brown in color and peels to reveal creamy white inner bark. This creates a great contrast to the dark green leaves and gives the tree good winter interest as well.
