Rockford Road Planetree

This is a refined and resilient shade tree, known for its beautiful exfoliating bark, which reveals a striking patchwork of cream, tan, and green tones throughout the year. Its broad, maple-like foliage forms a dense canopy that offers reliable summer shade and transitions to a warm golden hue in fall.

Selected for its improved disease resistance, particularly to anthracnose, this cultivar offers a cleaner, low maintenance alternative to traditional sycamores. With a strong upright form and vigorous growth, Rockford Road Planetree is ideal for large residential landscapes where both visual appeal and performance are essential.
