- 1). Collect the round, brown fruits from the ground near sycamores in the winter months when they have fallen from the tree. Allow them to dry out completely, then put them in a plastic baggie and store them in the freezer until spring.
- 2). Select a location for your new sycamore tree that receives direct sunlight, has a well drained soil and gives this potentially massive tree plenty of room to grow. Avoid shady areas and clay soil.
- 3). Plan your planting for late spring, or when temperatures are consistently between 59 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 4). Break apart the sycamore fruit to find the wispy, cotton-looking seeds inside. Bury the seeds under about an inch of potting soil in a medium size pot, and place it outside.
- 5). Water the plant enough to keep it damp, but not soggy. You should see seedlings emerge in a couple of weeks.
