Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This improved selection of the handsome California Sycamore has more deeply cut foliage and attractively variegated bark than the species. Dark-green leathery leaves are deeply lobed and make for fabulous contrast against the grey and white plated bark. This fine shade tree grows to 50' high by 40' wide. Another plus is that it is more resistant to anthracnose. S/M
