The large leaves are deeply cut and dark green in colour with serrated edges and these are accompanied by the fluffy spherical flowers in spring. Another interesting feature of this tree comes with the clusters of spherical burr-like fruits that appear in autumn. Like the popular London plane tree, the Oriental plane also has the distinctive flaking bark when mature. This tree is great for parkland planting or as an architectural tree in a large garden.

Platanus orientalis Minaret
Eastern Plane Tree
Common Name: Eastern Plane TreeLatin Name: Platanus orientalis 'Minaret'Soil: Well-draining reasonably good soil.Position: Full sun or partial shadeHardiness: Fully hardyEventual height/spread: 20/15mSpecial features: Large, deeply cut finger-like leaves that are densely packed onto the braches.The 'Minaret' makes a great feature tree for a large garden or parkland site. This tree grows to have a spreading and broadly columnar habit and when it is established the bark will flake to reveal different shades of cream, brown and grey on the trunk. The large leaves are palmately lobed and dark green in summer, later turning to golden brown come autumn. The small and rather inconspicuous summer flowers turn to brown burr-like fruits in autumn which adds further interest. This is a great choice for planting as a feature tree and also works well when planted near to other plane trees for differing interest.
