A large ornamental tree known for its imposing presence and distinctive foliage.
No tree has dressed Europe's boulevards like the plane: it withstands hard pruning, asphalt, pollution and drought better than almost any other large species, and its shade measurably lowers summer street temperatures. A timeless classic of the grand avenue.
It is a 17th-century hybrid between the oriental and American planes; its patchily flaking bark is not a disease but the tree's way of "breathing", shedding accumulated pollutants.
