    A deciduous tree with beautiful bright green foliage on a dense, rounded, low canopy. Foliage turns yellow before it drops in the fall. Attractive exfoliating bark peels off in plates. Great for use as a shade tree when planted in a large yard. This particular variety of London Planetree is resistant to anthracnose. Tolerates wind, heat, drought, and poor soil conditions, although it prefers moist, well-drained soils. Growth Rate fast, 12"+ annually
