Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip

Use Bloodgood London Planetree in open landscapes where shade and structure are needed most. Its mottled bark makes it just as appealing in winter as in summer, so plant it where the trunk and branching can be appreciated up close. Underplant with shade-tolerant shrubs or groundcovers once the canopy fills out, creating a layered, park-like effect.
