This oriental sycamore is a Dutch cultivar and is also known as the mulberry sycamore. This type of sycamore is also recognizable by its beautiful, striking peeling bark and is a characteristic tree found in Italian and French town squares. In the summer, the ‘minaret’ provides pleasant, cooling shade thanks to its compact branching. And in the winter, this tree adds beautiful ornamental value with its characteristic round, spiny fruits.
