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.
