Platanus orientalis 'Digitata', commonly known as the Cutleaf Oriental Plane, is a striking deciduous tree prized for its deeply lobed, hand-like foliage that creates an elegant, architectural appearance. This cultivar thrives in well-draining soil and full sun, making it ideal for larger gardens and landscapes across Australia. Its exfoliating bark reveals attractive mottled patterns, adding winter interest when leaves drop. Fast-growing and relatively low-maintenance, this specimen tree provides excellent shade and visual impact, perfect for creating a focal point in your outdoor space.
