European Plane

Particularly striking is its multicoloured bark, patterned in yellow, grey, brown and green, which peels off in large plates. The leaves are roughly the size of a palm; the upper side is a glossy green, while the underside is darker and felted. The inconspicuous reddish flowers are spherical and hang on long stalks. From these develop the equally spherical fruits, which stay on the tree all winter and only fall to the ground the following year.

In Europe, the plane tree is an important source of timber, used mainly for indoor furniture. Thanks to its large wood rays and the irregular grain pattern on radial surfaces, plane slabs show an interesting, highly decorative figure. Our bespoke plane tables have a very special grain and are therefore an eye-catcher in any living space.
