Platanus × acerifolia
London Plane Tree

London Plane Tree (Platanus × acerifolia) is a large, hardy, deciduous tree widely valued for its majestic appearance, fast growth, and exceptional tolerance to urban conditions. It is a hybrid of the American sycamore and the Oriental plane, making it one of the most popular shade and avenue trees around the world.

The tree features a broad, spreading canopy with large, maple-like green leaves that turn yellow-brown in autumn before shedding. One of its most distinctive features is its mottled, peeling bark, revealing patches of cream, olive, and grey, which adds strong visual interest year-round.

London Plane Trees thrive in full sun, adapt well to a wide range of soils, and tolerate pollution, pruning, heat, and wind. Due to their strength and longevity, they are commonly planted along streets, parks, large gardens, and public landscapes.
