Description
A dwarfing clone top worked onto a Platanus x hispanica stem, ideal for restricted urban areas.
More popular as a choice of street tree in continental Europe, this style of tree has never really caught on in the UK but it does have its uses.
This has a similar effect and usage to Fraxinus ornus Meczek and Acer campestre Nanum. Good for areas where size is restrictive, this clone produces a ball of dwarfing foliage requiring little maintenance.
Mature height: 3-7m
Mature spread: 2-3m
