Plant Description

The Platanus acerifolia, commonly called the London Plane, is a majestic, deciduous tree admired for its resilience and striking appearance. Its mottled bark peels away in patches, revealing a mix of creamy white, green, and gray hues. The broad, lobed leaves, resembling those of a maple, are deep green in summer, turning golden and brown in autumn. The tree produces distinctive spherical seed clusters that dangle on long stalks through winter. Known for its tolerance to pollution, pruning, and varied soil types, the London Plane is a staple in urban streetscapes and parks worldwide.
