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

英語の後に日本語が続きます。

The London plane (Platanus x acerifolia) is a hybrid of the oriental plane and the American sycamore, coming to Japan during the Meiji period (1868-1912), and can now be found across the country. The tree produces male and female flowers from April to May in Japan, often seen scattered on the ground after the rain. The tree's Japanese name is "momiji ha suzukake no ki," which translates into "maple leaf platanus," after its leaf shape.

The London plane is aesthetically pleasing throughout the year with their flowers, fruits, and autumn leaves (scroll down). The trees in my neighborhood are too large (10 meter high), so I've seen its fruits and male flowers fallen on the ground but not those still on the trees.

紅葉葉鈴懸の木（モミジバスズカケノキ）です。スズカケノキとアメリカスズカケノキとの交配種。日本には明治時代に移入され、今は街路樹として、4月から5月には花、秋にはコロンとした実と美しい紅葉で、私たちを一年中楽しませてくれます。

プラタナスと呼ばれている木のほとんどは紅葉葉鈴懸の木（モミジバスズカケノキ）です。
