Rockford Road™ London Planetree

A Greenleaf selection valued for its bark aesthetic.  Mature trees have white bark similar to Eucalyptus.  A rapid growing tree when young, maturing at 75 to 100 feet tall with a simlar canopy. Large leaves and a good branching structure make this a popular urban roadside tree.

For new plantings
1. Dig a hole one and a half times wider than the plant's container
2. Place plant in hole, keeping the top of the root ball ground level
3. Back fill with dirt
4. Water thoroughly and then mulch around the base to conserve moisture and reduce weeds
New plantings require more frequent watering than established plants. Wind, temperature and soil are factors to consider in watering.
Feed plants in early spring and again in early fall with an all-purpose fertilizer, following label instructions.

Care Instructions
Planetrees are a beautiful addition to any outdoor space. To ensure they thrive, proper care is essential. With adequate watering, pruning, and fertilizer, planetrees can grow big and strong. Water your planetree deeply and regularly, especially during the hot summer months. Prune any diseased or dead branches to maintain the health and appearance of the tree. Finally, fertilize the tree in early spring to encourage healthy growth. With a little effort, your planetree will provide beauty and shade for many years to come.
