I have a 6 year old beautiful sycamore tree. It looks completely healthy, green, plentiful leaves, but large pieces of bark are falling off from the upper parts. Can you help me?

Greetings Cindi:
Your young sycamore tree is probably just starting to exfoliate its bark, which is common and characteristic of sycamore trees.
