Stock Images of Plane Trees (Trees)

Pictures include some London plane trees (platanus acerifolia) including some very old specimens and more youthful plants / saplings. This species is especially resistant to city pollution and is therefore often planted alongside busy roads, although it is equally at home in parks and gardens, where old trees exhibit patchy flaky bark. Some of the photos show an ancient plane that was blown over in a storm many years ago, and although it was partially uprooted, it is still living and growing quite happily, albeit on its side, with its branches now growing upwards rather like separate trees.
