First recorded in the early 1660s, the London Plane was extensively planted as a street tree in the capital due to its tolerance of air pollution and of pruning.
A large, fast growing tree with a broadly oval crown, one of its main features is the trunk, which flakes to reveal a patchwork of green, white and cream.
The leaves are large, deeply lobed and palmate, while the rounded fruit clusters, produced in strings, resemble little baubles, which hang from the branches for much of the year.
Still a good choice for urban plantings, it is also great for parkland.
One of the first London Planes planted in England is still thriving in Ely, only a few miles from thenursery and is one of the most impressive trees in Britain.
Mature height: 20m+
