Description
Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) is a common tree and one of the largest in the eastern deciduous forests. Other names are American planetree, buttonwood, American sycamore, and buttonball-tree. It is a fast-growing and long-lived tree of lowlands and old fields. Sycamore is valuable for timber and is also widely planted as a shade tree because of its distinctive white, exfoliating bark and broad, dense crown.

Thanks, Hanne! I think this sycamore bark is so smooth and chipped as it is is because it is on the Ohio River bank where the winds are a bit stronger and act as polish! Usually sycamore trees aren't this captivating!
