Be aware that plane trees are very messy, dropping fruit and bark all around
them. Also, the wood is brittle; they drop twigs and branches quite readily.
Many urban planners like them because they drop the fruit with the
leaves in a well defined period, so are easy to clean up around.
The branches that drop off are called by arborists as self-pruning.
