Sobre o livro
*PREVIEW best on computer – not iPad or phone.*
Platanus is a very brief story of the plane tree species, the Oriental and the Western planes and the hybrid London plane that is a common street and park tree around the world.
The plane is a special tree for the many reasons that have made it popular as a town tree, in particular the hybrid species, Platanus x acerifolia, the London plane that came into being around the year 1650.
There are some planes dating from that time still growing strongly in England and this book shows them and more recent plantings in photographs taken during the different seasons of the year.
A great threat to the species comes from pathogens that are on the increase as a result of lax controls on the globalisation of trade and from a changing climate. The book shows the development of Massaria disease of planes and looks to the threat of other diseases that make biosecurity an imperative.
