Planning to install this yourself? We recommend a size 15 Gallon or smaller for DIY installations. These sizes do not require any offloading equipment.
Any tree or shrub that is sized by HEIGHT or CAL (Caliper- size where the trunk meets the root flare) is delivered with a large root ball wrapped in burlap (B&B). They are typically 1000+ LBS per plant. They will require heavy equipment to install. Installation is not included in the price of the plant. We highly recommend adding the ServeScape ‘One-Click’ Installation service (must be added at the cart page) for material of this size, or working with a contractor that can provide equipment for installation.

For any tree or shrub that is sized larger than 10’ HEIGHT or 3” CAL, the customer will be required to provide offloading equipment or a contractor to offload unless paying for installation through ServeScape. We will coordinate delivery with you so that your contractor can have equipment ready upon your plant's arrival!

The London Planetree, also known as the Platanus x acerifolia, is a large deciduous tree that is commonly found in urban areas. Here's everything you need to know about it:

  1. Appearance: The London Planetree has a distinctive appearance with its mottled bark that peels off in patches, revealing a creamy white or light green inner bark. The leaves are large, palmate, and resemble those of a maple tree. They turn yellow in the fall.

  2. Size: This tree can grow to be quite large, reaching heights of 70 to 100 feet (21 to 30 meters) with a spread of 50 to 80 feet (15 to 24 meters). It has a broad, rounded crown that provides ample shade.

  3. Tolerance: London Planetrees are known for their ability to tolerate a wide range of environmental conditions, including pollution, drought, and compacted soil. They are often planted in urban areas because of their resilience.
