Arizona Sycamore
Arbor Walk #171, Treekeeper ID #7177
The Arizona Sycamore is one of three native sycamore species in North America, and is the species with the most limited range. It is only found in Arizona, southwestern New Mexico, and small pockets of Northwestern Mexico. Sycamores are riparian trees, meaning they live near rivers or streams and often have higher water requirements to grow. They also survive well in environments with periodic drought, flooding, and fire, given their native range, marking them as an incredibly resilient species. As a shade tree, the Arizona Sycamore is also very useful, providing cool cover on warm days in its native range or here in St. Louis.
