Description

Platanus orientalis 'Minaret' is a large and beautiful tree that can reach a height of approximately 15 meters and a spread of 12 meters. It features attractive plane bark and bright green, deeply incised leaves. These leaves typically have 5-7 serrated lobes that turn yellow in autumn before falling. In May and June, the tree produces spherical yellow-green flowers, followed by small green fruits which emerge in autumn, roughly 2.5 cm in diameter, growing in clusters of 3 to 6. These fruits eventually turn brown and hang on the tree well into winter.

The Oriental Plane Tree makes an excellent addition to any large garden, thriving in both direct sunlight and partial shade. Due to its large size, it has good wind resistance and is hardy in winter, being frost-resistant.

Planting Steps

1Preparation

Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

Water generously around the base of the plant.
If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
