American Sycamore is the largest tree native to eastern North America. Generally too large and messy to be a street tree, American Sycamore thrives in large, open spaces, such as an acreage or farm.

The bark is one of the main features that draw people to this tree. The outer bark flakes off in irregular pieces to reveal an attractive white, green, and cream colored inner layer, providing winter interest.

American Sycamore has an extremely fast growth rate, gaining up to 6 ft in one year, and will easily reach its mature height in a short period of time. Be wary of this trees' root system, as it's typically very extensive and needs lots of room to expand.

The Siberian Larch 'Oasis' is perfect for shade in the summer and sunlight in the winter as it drops its needles in the fall. A dense deciduous conifer tree with an attractive oval shape and a strong central leader, this larch is perfect in a shelterbelt for protection in the summer and sunlight in the winter. The delicate and fine needle texture that makes it an attractive feature in landscaping projects and is show-stopping in the fall with foliage that turns gold.
