LA County Fire Dept. Fire approved CA native tree
















Platanus racemosa

California Sycamore

This is my all time favorite tree.  When my husband and I hike in the Newport Coast Area there are natural groves of these in a few spots.  They give wonderful shade and the leaves are so beautiful.  The photo shows very young California Sycamores just installed at the Mesa Birch Park. This park consists of mostly California Natives.  Someday these will be huge and soften the look of the office buildings in the background.
