@mckgaston: Diversity allows for the best possible outcomes! In this case, diversity of genetics yields a tree that is tremendously robust. So much so, it is the most popular street tree in the world! The London Plane tree has fast growth, pollution tolerance, and high adaptability to soils! This is hybrid vigor at work! Appearing in a cultivated setting in Southern Europe or England in the 1600s, the London Plane (Platanus x hispanica) is a hybrid between the Oriental Sycamore (Platanus orientalis) and Occidental Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis). While these two Platanus species can hybridize, hybridization with other species does not seem to create viable seeds. Of conservation concern, now London Plane is hybridizing with California Sycamore (Platanus racemosa) in areas where they are close. Researchers have found increased genetic diversity in California Sycamore populations, but now also less species distinctiveness as they mix genetics.

they look so squishy

I’m feeling some hybrid vigor from watching this video

I miss the random pokemon 😭

The golden doodles of the planet world. I see 🫪

i planted 2 in my garden near the street in the Northern Cape of south africa and i must say they are quick growers

garfreek van broekho :

I think we indeed have it over here in Holland, supercool! 🤎

Mistervista :

something about grass 😍

runliftrepeat :

We have some gorgeous platanus racemosa in our neighborhood in San Diego

You should play The Last of us on stream if you haven’t. I think it’ll be right up your alley with nature.

GonzTheMagnificent :

The sycamores we have in Galveston Texas are known for being susceptible to high winds. So, not that robust. Is that a different sycamore?

Nicknicknick :

London Plane Trees give off ungodly volumes of pollen

Saber Of Red :

Have you talked about lily of the valley yet? Those are my favorite flowers

fitplantguy :

I’m curious how far you run between each plant stop 😂

vinnieviddivicci :

In Rome, there are sycamores that line the street along the River River. I wonder if it is the tree you describe here. 🤔

evergreeen.gaybriel :

learning things everyday 😌

Wow I need a mustached tree nerd

Jesus Apodaca :

My street has nice trees to see too 😏

omg. more shirtless videos 🥵 that and maybe something without socks!? hehe 💋
