This oriental plane tree cultivar was found as a seedling of P. orientalis 'Digitata'. It forms a compact column-shaped crown with very dense branches and grows more slowly than the species. The bast is yellow, and the green (sometimes grey) bark flakes off in small plates. This produces the characteristic plane bark. Young shoots and leaf stalks are a remarkable purple-red in colour. The leaves are deeply incised and usually have 5 - 7 lobes with serrated points. The autumn colour is yellow. The spherical flowers are covered with protruding hairs. The fruit, that turns colour from green to brown and measures approx. 2.5 cm in diameter, appears after flowering. The fruit hangs in groups of 3 to 6 and remains on the tree until deep into the winter. Saplings are sensitive to frost.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2024.
