Platanus x acerifolia 'Morton Circle'
Choose Exclamation! London Planetree for a large yard or open streetscape where you want a formal shade tree with strong structure. The tradeoff is simple: this is not a tight-space tree.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A | It gives a strong shade-tree presence with clean branching and mottled bark, but it needs a broad setting. |
| Growth Rate | B | It develops at a steady pace without being the fastest shade option on the lot. |
| Maintenance | B- | The structure is useful, but leaves, bark flakes, and seasonal debris are part of owning a planetree. |
| Deer Resistance | B+ | Deer tend to leave this tree alone, though young plants can be browsed or rubbed where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | D | This tree is built for open ground, not narrow side yards or close building corners. |
| Screening Value | C+ | It provides overhead shade and some seasonal cover, but it is not a dense privacy screen. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this only when the site has open space around it. If the planting area is tight, a zelkova, hornbeam, or honeylocust will usually be the better fit.
| Mature Height | 55-65 feet |
|---|---|
| Mature Width | 40-50 feet |
| Hardiness Zones | 4a-8b |
| Spacing | 40-50 feet |
| Sun | Full sun |
| Moisture | Moist, well-drained soil |
| Growth Habit | Pyramidal |
Yes, if the yard is open and the tree will not crowd the house, walk, or wires.
Somewhat; expect leaf drop, bark shedding, and normal shade-tree cleanup.
Its upright, uniform branching makes it easier to place where structure matters.

They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
