Platanus × Acerifolia (London Plane) 紅葉葉鈴懸の木(モミジハスズカケノキ)

Japanese follows English. 英語の後に日本語が続きます。

These maple-shaped but much bigger leaves first caught my eye. This is platanus × acerifolia or more commonly known as London plane tree, i.e., a hybrid of oriental plane and American sycamore.

In Japan, autumn has fully kicked in. Tree leaves have turned yellow, orange and red, and Japanese people are very busy because as a Japanese saying goes, "Autumn is the season of reading books, playing sports, doing art and last but not least enjoying eating"! 

In Japan, the London plane tree is called "maple leaf platanus," which describes exactly the leaf shape.

紅葉葉鈴懸の木(モミジハスズカケノキ)です。紅葉している木は多いのですが葉の形に目を奪われました。名前が示すように大きい紅葉です。スズカケノキとアメリカスズカケノキとの交配種で、プラタナスとも呼ばれるようです。

紅葉も本格化し、いよいよ秋。食欲の秋がこわ~い😱!
