Platanus orientalis

Platanus orientalis is a rapid grower that quickly forms into a large, round-headed tree with bark that peels off in large flakes, giving it a dappled appearance. It is an excellent choice for use as a shade tree in areas with enough space. This species is great for large lawns, parks, avenues, and streets, and can be pruned heavily. Additionally, it is tolerant of pollution. During the autumn season, its leaves turn yellow, providing a beautiful display of fall foliage. Platanus orientalis is deciduous and native from the eastern Mediterranean to Iran.
