Abstract
A tree that can warm your heart even on the coldest day of winter is the American Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis). American sycamore is also known as American Planetree, Buttonwood, and Buttonball tree. American Sycamore is native in 36 states including Nebraska. You can go to just about any eastern Nebraska community and find at least a few larger sycamore trees. On farms it was (and still is) often planted for shade.
