About this product

Platanus orientalis 'Minaret' is a cultivar of the Oriental Plane tree characterized by its highly dissected leaves. Originating from Asia Minor and India, this variety features large, bright green leaves that are deeply divided into five lobes. The leaves change colour in autumn, turning yellow and brown before falling off.

As the tree matures, its bark develops a patchwork appearance, flaking off in sections similar to the London Plane tree.

These Pleached specimens have been trained onto frames, making them perfect for high-level screening. The clear stem is 1.8-2m high, with a frame on the top of 1.8m x.1.8m square. 

These pleached trees form an immediate continuous screen, or stilted hedge, without encroaching too much into the lateral space of a garden.

Regular pruning of a stilted screen is necessary to ensure density and shape are maintained.

We also offer a non-pleached Platanus orientalis Minaret, ideal for those seeking a more traditional appearance.
