London Planetree
(Platanus hybrida)

A hybrid between American Sycamore (P. occidentalis) and Oriental Planetree (P. oreientalis). Exfoliating bark, olive green to creamy white. Large speading crown. Very adaptable to urban conditions. Glossy green leaves will turn yellow in fall. This tree does best in warm summer locations. These trees line Brigham City's main street. Unlike the spiked seedpods of horse chestnut, the "ball" of seeds seen in the London planetree pictures is soft and quite ornamental.
