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.

Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
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!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
