London Plane
platanus × hispanica
The London Plane is a magnificent, resilient deciduous tree that has become a defining feature of urban landscapes worldwide, most famously lining the streets of London and other major cities. A hybrid between the Oriental plane and the American sycamore, this tree combines the grand stature of its parent species with an extraordinary tolerance for city life. It is particularly celebrated for its ability to thrive in compacted soils and withstand high levels of atmospheric pollution. This hardiness, combined with its broad canopy providing generous shade, has made it one of the most widely planted ornamental urban trees in temperate zones.
生息地: Commonly found in temperate urban areas, city streets, parks, and cultivated landscapes, where it is planted for shade and ornament.
外見
The London Plane is instantly recognizable by its striking, mottled bark, which flakes off in large irregular patches to reveal a mosaic of pale green, grey, cream, and brown underneath. It boasts large, palmately lobed leaves that closely resemble maple leaves, featuring five distinct lobes with coarsely toothed margins. In autumn, these leaves turn a rich, golden brown. Its fruit consists of distinctive, ball-shaped seed heads that hang in pairs or small clusters from long stalks, remaining on the branches well into winter.

おもしろい事実
It was heavily planted in London during the Industrial Revolution because it was one of the few trees that could survive the city's intense coal smoke.
The fuzzy hairs on the underside of its leaves can be a minor irritant to humans and may trigger coughing when shed in spring.
The tree's peeling bark is a self-cleaning mechanism that helps it shed soot, dust, and other urban pollutants.
特殊能力
能力
Exfoliating Bark
Sheds its outer bark in patches to rid itself of trapped urban pollutants and soot, allowing the tree to breathe through its trunk.
能力
Pollution Tolerance
Highly resistant to atmospheric particulates, sulfur dioxide, and ozone, making it exceptionally adapted to dense urban environments.
能力
Compacted Soil Resilience
Possesses a robust, adaptable root system that can survive in highly compacted urban soils with low oxygen levels.
