PLANT PROFILE

Platanus orientalis 'Digitata', known as the Oriental Plane Tree 'Digitata', is an impressive deciduous tree notable for its large, distinctive hand-shaped leaves and majestic canopy. Growing typically between 20 to 30 meters tall—and occasionally up to 40 meters—it provides excellent shade and a dramatic focal point for urban and large-scale landscapes.

Its broad spread of 15 to 25 meters and naturally upright, spreading habit make it ideal as a shade or specimen tree in parks, streetscapes, and expansive gardens. The smooth, pale bark exfoliates in patches, revealing a beautiful mosaic of creamy-white, green, and tan tones that adds year-round textural interest.

In spring, it produces inconspicuous greenish-yellow flowers followed by spherical fruiting balls. The deeply lobed, digitate leaves turn vibrant yellows and browns in autumn, enhancing seasonal appeal.

This tree thrives in full sun and adapts well to various soils. It is drought-tolerant once established and requires minimal pruning to maintain health and form, making it a durable and low-maintenance choice for many settings.
