A Greenleaf selection prized for its dramatic white bark that exfoliates to the ground at maturity. This hybrid is exceptionally tough in the Houston metro area, showing high resistance to anthracnose and powdery mildew. It thrives in our intense summer heat and is highly adaptable to poorly drained heavy clay soils, making it a superior, low-maintenance alternative to traditional sycamores for large landscapes.
