Platanus acerifolia 'Yuval'

A large, long-lasting tree that is resistant to weather damage and pests. A seeding clone of Platanus occidentalis created by the Pines Nursery (a seedling propagation nursery) that stands out in the nursery with its colors and leaf size, and which will later display good resistance to powdery mildew. Due to the similarity in certain properties of Platanus orientalis, one might assume that this is a hybrid between P. occidentalis and P. orientalis, but there is no evidence that this is the case.

It boasts a handsome and special trunk that combines white-gray, green and reddish-brown spots patches and has large strips of bark that frequently peel off. The leaves are lighter green in color and larger than those of Platanus occidentalis and turn an impressive yellow and brown in fall. Due to its size, it is suitable for areas where it has room for growth, and can definitely grace the public space alone, in groves and along boulevards.
