tallest London plane, Britain

This London plane tree as measured by the Forestry Commission in March 1964 is 123ft. tall and has a girth of 20ft. 11in. at a height of 5gt. above ground level. It is the tallest London plane tree known in Britain and is one of the very few trees of any kind to exceed both 120ft. in height and 20ft. in girth. The age of the tree is not known with accuracy but is likely to exceed 200 years.
