plane trees
Mottled-bark urban trees
Plane trees are large deciduous trees with broad leaves and bark that peels in patches, creating a distinctive mottled appearance.
They're commonly planted along streets and in parks for shade.
The London plane, a hybrid, dominates urban landscapes because it tolerates pollution and compacted soil.
In North America, the native species is usually called sycamore.
