Camo tree adds graphic flair to street
I love this camo trunk tree, and the graphic flair of its trunk, branches and leaves. It’s almost unreal.
Its Latin name is Platanus, and it’s sometimes called American sycamore. A hybrid called London Plane is popular in many global cities, but this camo-trunked type is my favorite.
Woohoo! London Plane – my favorite tree, and we’ve got plenty of them in Brooklyn.
Yes, I saw some recently at Lincoln Center. Is the bark often this graphic?
BTW, along with A Small Lab, I will soon be launching a new garden project, and we would like to invite people to submit photos and stories of gardens they are growing or observing. Thanks in advance for considering it!
Not always, here’s one from Fort Green Park
