Exclamation!™ Sycamore is a fast-growing upright shade tree known for its strong central form, attractive exfoliating bark, and excellent urban tolerance. This improved London Planetree selection features a narrower, more upright growth habit than traditional sycamores, making it an excellent choice for streetscapes, larger residential landscapes, commercial properties, and shade tree plantings throughout North Florida, South Alabama, and the Florida Panhandle.
