ALAMO MEXICAN SYCAMORE

Platanus mexicana AlamoTM is a superior seedling selection that was discovered by Peerless Farm and Orange County Nursery, Inc. AlamoTM Mexican Sycamore was chosen from thousands of seedlings to have unique desirable characteristics.

The Mexican Sycamore is a majestic shade tree towering up to 80 feet in height with large maple-like leaves that are dark green on top and silvery

white below. This distinctive tree is also noted for its beautiful, smooth, white exfoliating bark. Mexican Sycamore is more resistant to disease problems and better adapted to dry, rocky alkaline soils than other species of Sycamores. This fast growing giant is a great choice for Texas.
