Once established, it is exceptionally drought-tolerant, pollution-resistant, and largely pest-free, making it a low-maintenance landscape favorite.
London plane
Platanus × hispanica
The London plane (Platanus × hispanica) is a large deciduous hybrid tree, a cross between the Oriental plane (P. orientalis) and the American sycamore (P. occidentalis). It is instantly recognizable by its distinctive bark that peels away in patches to reveal cream, olive, and grey mottled patterns beneath, and by its large maple-like leaves. One of the most widely planted urban trees in the world, it is prized for its exceptional tolerance of air pollution, compacted soils, and drought once established.
American Sycamore
Platanus occidentalis
The American sycamore is one of the largest native hardwood trees in eastern North America, commonly reaching 75-100 ft (23-30 m) tall with a broad, spreading crown. It is best known for its distinctive exfoliating bark, which sheds in irregular gray-brown plates to reveal smooth, creamy-white inner bark. Native to riverbanks, floodplains and bottomlands, it tolerates wet soils as well as periods of drought once established. Small monoecious flowers appear in early spring (green male clusters, burgundy-red female clusters), followed by distinctive ball-shaped seed heads that persist through winter.
Elkhorn Fern
Platycerium alcicorne
Platycerium alcicorne, commonly known as the Elkhorn Fern, is an epiphytic fern native to Madagascar and East Africa (including Kenya, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, and neighboring islands such as the Comoros, Mauritius, Reunion, and Seychelles). Like other staghorn ferns, it produces two distinct types of fronds: rounded, shield-shaped sterile fronds that clasp its mounting surface and protect the root ball, and antler-like fertile fronds that arch outward and carry spore patches on their undersides. In the wild it grows attached to tree trunks and branches, absorbing moisture and nutrients from the air, rainfall, and decaying organic debris trapped behind its shield fronds. It never produces flowers or seeds, reproducing instead through spores and by forming offsets (pups) that can be divided from the parent plant.
Staghorn Fern
Platycerium bifurcatum
Platycerium bifurcatum is a striking epiphytic fern native to the rainforests of Australia, Java, and New Guinea. Known for its unique antler-shaped fronds, this plant naturally grows on trees and rocks, absorbing nutrients and moisture from the air. It produces two types of fronds: sterile shield fronds that anchor the plant and fertile fronds that resemble deer antlers. With proper care, staghorn ferns can live for over 50 years and become impressive living sculptures.
Philippine Staghorn Fern
Platycerium grande
Platycerium grande is a magnificent epiphytic fern native to the Philippines, renowned for its enormous bifurcated fronds resembling elk antlers. One of the largest species in the Platycerium genus, it can reach up to 4 feet in height. In nature, it grows on tree trunks and rocks, absorbing nutrients and moisture through its basal shield fronds.
