Platanus wrightii
Also called Arizona Plane, Arizona Planetree, Alamo
Platanus wrightii is a large deciduous riparian tree of the American southwest and northern Mexico, reaching about 25 m, that grows along streams and in canyons. The key to growing it is a deep, consistently moist soil and full sun, and it is generally grown as a landscape or shade tree rather than a houseplant.
Platanus wrightii, the Arizona sycamore, is a sycamore tree native to Arizona and New Mexico with its range extending south into the Mexican states of Sonora, Chihuahua, and Sinaloa.
The tree is a large deciduous tree, growing up to 82 ft (25 m).
The Arizona sycamore is a tree of central Arizona's transition zone in the Mogollon Rim–White Mountains. The range extends into southwest New Mexico and parts of Sonora, Chihuahua, and Sinaloa in Mexico. In Arizona, the range extends south towards northern Sonora. The range in southeast Arizona is a northeasterly part of the Sonoran Desert, and is at the northern region of the Sierra Madre Occidental cordillera.
