plane tree
London street shade
A plane tree is a large deciduous tree with broad leaves and bark that peels in patches, revealing pale inner layers.
The London plane, a hybrid commonly planted along city streets, tolerates urban pollution well.
Plane trees belong to the genus *Platanus* and are called sycamores in American English.
