Large Deciduous Trees
Betula nigra (River Birch)
Betula nigra, commonly known as River Birch, is a large, deciduous tree that will grow almost anywhere. It grows rapidly with a pyramidal habit when young and tends to broaden out with age, eventually reaching 15 m tall and 8 m wide. The foliage emerges mid-green in spring and remains this way before developing yellow tones in autumn and falling. Betula nigra is well suited to growing as a specimen in parks and large gardens, for planting beside water features such as ponds and streams, growing as a screen or for shelter on heavier soils, or using in riparian plantings.

Platanus acerifolia
Platanus acerifolia, commonly known as the London Plane Tree, is a large, deciduous tree grown for its foliage, stature, and showy fruits. The foliage is lush, dark green, and develops a yellow-brown colour before falling in autumn. A distinctive feature of this tree is the brown bark, which is shed to reveal a cream-white inner bark, resulting in a trunk with a somewhat mottled appearance as it grows to about 25 m tall and 20 m wide (though it can be trimmed as necessary). Platanus acerifolia makes a fantastic shade tree and is commonly grown as a specimen in extensive gardens or parks, or used in an avenue planting.
