Monumental™ London Planetree

Why it rocks:

Monumental™ London Planetree resembles the classic American Sycamore. Developed by the late Dr. George Ware at The Morton Arboretum, it was selected for landscape use due to its disease resistance, strong branching structure, and vigorous growth rate. This majestic tree matures into a broadly pyramidal canopy covered in large green leaves, providing dense shade. Its exfoliating bark reveals smooth patches of light gray that transition to bright white during the winter. In autumn, the tree showcases glowing golden-yellow leaves that contrast beautifully with its light gray-mottled bark. This stately tree is sure to make a striking statement in any landscape.

Where to put it:

Monumental™ London Planetree is an excellent choice for urban areas, natural landscapes, and large spaces. It’s ideal for big yards, parkways, public parks, cemeteries, golf courses, and parking lot islands near shopping centers.

Monumental™ London Planetree is a robust tree that can withstand pollution, poor soil, drought, and flooding. It thrives in full sun but can also tolerate partial sunlight. For the first few growing seasons, please adhere to our tree care instructions to help establish a strong root system.
