Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A strong center leader and strongly upright pyramidal shape, along with resistance to anthracnose, early exfoliating bark and vigorous growth make this Morton Arb intro great for street or shade tree. S/M PPAF

By: Forestfarm

Deciduous, lightly fruiting tree with an upright - pyramidal habit. Attractive green foliage turns to a lovely yellow in the fall. The winter brings the unveiling of interesting exfoliating bark. This cultivar has shown resistance to cracking from frost and anthracnose. Growth Rate fast, 12"+ annually

By: Garden World

This hybrid selection of the London plane tree resulted from a controlled cross made by Dr. George Ware at the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, Illinois, between P. orientalis (naturally anthracnose-resistant) and an anthracnose-resistant P. occidentalis parent. Selected for its uniform, upright-pyramidal habit, which is conical in its youth; a strong central leader; and attractive foliage. This plant is densely branched, has a moderate growth rate, is light-fruiting, and shows resistance to frost cracking and anthracnose. It is developing the attractive exfoliating bark expected of plane trees and will measure 60' in height with a 30' spread. The most upright London Plane tree in the market.
