The London Plane roof form tree is ideal for the creation of natural shade in gardens and urban areas due to its large maple like leaves densely packed onto the horizontal canopy.
London Plane (Platanus acerifolia) roof form trees are a popular deciduous tree similar to a Sycamore, thought to be a hybrid of the American and Oriental Plane. They are most noted for their large, thickly textured, leaves that turn a brilliant orange-yellow colour in autumn. The London Plane also has unusual green-grey bark which develops large scales that peel to reveal a creamy-white bark underneath creating an attractive mottled effect. In spring the tree flowers in round clusters on a long drooping stem developing into fruit made up of hundreds of small seed-pods that disperse in the late autumn and winter winds.
Used extensively in urban areas, the London Plane is very tolerant or any soil type and weather as well as acting as a pollutant absorber to some degree. All these characteristics make this roof form tree a popular choice, particularly in London itself where this species makes up over half of the trees in the city, thus earning it the name 'London' Plane.
