Description
Platanus orientalis – Oriental Plane is a fast-growing, deciduous tree known for its broad, rounded crown. Its large, maple-like green leaves are deeply lobed and turn a rich golden hue in autumn, adding seasonal interest to any landscape.
One of its standout features is the bark, which flakes off in patches on the trunk and older branches, revealing a beautifully dappled surface. This adds texture and character throughout the year.
Adaptable to most soil types, it tolerates clay and thrives even in polluted urban environments. However, it’s best to avoid overly wet soils for long-term health and growth.
Ideal for parks, farms, and large open spaces, it makes an excellent shade, avenue or specimen tree. In 10 years, it can reach around 8 metres tall and 5 metres wide, eventually maturing to 15 x 7 metres or more.
The name orientalis means “relating to the Orient,” reflecting its origins in Southeastern Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean.
