London Plane - Platanus x. Hispanica

The London Plane has the latin name Platanus x. Hispanica. I found this tree on Oxford Road, just outside the Manchester Metropolitan University Campus. There was very little sunlight and very strong winds. The London Plane is a large deciduous tree with a broad, domed crown. The leaves are usually up to 18cm in length and deeply divided into 5-7 lobes.
