Tree Platanus x acerifolia London Plane, Maple-leaved Plane

 

 

 

 
Description This hybrid tree has large 5 lobed bright green leaves that turn yellow in autumn. A great feature of the tree is its bark which is a smooth cream colour attractively blotched with grey and brown. Brown seed balls hang like ornaments in winter.    
Foliage
Deciduous
   
Form
Horizontal Branching
   
Mature Size 14 x 10m    
Uses This tree tolerates pollution, light pollution and mild drought, so is commonly used for street planting and in parks. It can also be used as a feature tree. Care must be taken in positioning, as roots are very vigorous, and its seed dispersal from the seed balls are a significant allergen and asthma trigger.    
Position & Soil Tolerates most soils in a full sun position. They prefer deep, rich well drained soil. Tolerates air pollution.
