What is the difference between Chinese sycamore?

1.Chinese sycamore

Many people don't know the difference between the French Sycamore and the Chinese Sycamore, the Chinese Sycamore, also known as the green Sycamore, the Tung Ma, belongs to the Sycamore family, and the Chinese Sycamore is divided into the Sycamore and Yunnan Sycamore. The bark of the sycamore tree is rough, grayish-black in color, and the leaves are divided into three lobes, which bloom in April each year, after which it bears fruit.

2.French Sycamore

The French plane tree, also known as the plane tree, belongs to the plane tree family, in fact, the plane tree is not a real plane tree, just because this tree is produced in France, its leaves are similar to the plane tree, so people affectionately call it the plane tree. The plane tree is very tall and is often planted as a street tree on the roadside.

3.Chinese sycamore

Chinese sycamore likes to grow in a warm, sunny environment, not waterlogging or cold-tolerant, there are many plantings in the southern region of China, and some few varieties also grow in the northern region. P. sinensis has high soil requirements and is suitable for growing in loose, fertile, moist, well-drained, calcium-rich sandy loam soil.

4.French Sycamore

The sycamore likes to grow in a humid and warm climate, has a certain cold tolerance, and can grow in low temperatures for a short time in winter, and grows in neutral soil or slightly acidic soil with good drainage. The French plane tree is very adaptable, has high requirements for light, and prefers to grow in a place with good light.

The body of the Chinese sycamore tree resembles an aspen tree and is very straight. The French plane tree has a thick trunk.

1. The Chinese name of the French plane is "three-ball plane tree", and the official Latin scientific name is "platanus orientalis L.".It is a plant of the plane tree family Plane tree, which grows in Yunnan, China. It is also a famous street tree in the world.

2. Now it is cultivated in China from Dalian, Beijing, Hebei in the north, Shaanxi and Gansu in the west, Sichuan and Yunnan in the southwest, Guangdong and the eastern coastal provinces in the south. In Nanjing, the common people refer to it simply as "Sycamore" or "Sycamore", but it is neither a sycamore tree nor a plane tree from France, and the sycamore tree we often refer to actually refers to "Chinese Sycamore".

3. The flowers of the Chinese sycamore and the leaves of the French sycamore also have their own characteristics: the Chinese sycamore with trumpet-shaped flowers is the Chinese sycamore, and the palm-shaped side of the leaf is the French sycamore.

The leaves of the three-ball plane resemble a sycamore, which is mistaken for a sycamore, and the "French sycamore" is not produced in France. In the 17th century, in Oxford, England, people used a ball of plane tree (also known as the American plane tree) and a three-ball plane tree (also known as the French plane tree) as parents, and crossed into a two-ball plane tree, named "English plane tree". Because it is a hybrid, there is no place of origin.

After it was widely cultivated in Europe, the French brought it to Shanghai and planted it on Xiafei Road (now Huaihai Middle Road as a street tree). People call it "French Sycamore", and people follow it and think of it as a sycamore tree. Abbreviated as Fa Tong.

Sycamore and sycamore are completely different tree species. Tung tree from foreign countries, the first by the French in the Shanghai concession plant, because the leaves are similar to the sycamore, so it is called "French sycamore", referred to as the tung. With the spread of falsehood, everyone began to scream like this.

Sycamore is a Chinese tree species, and many poems describe it in ancient times.

In order to avoid confusion with the ancient tree species Sycamore, which originated in China, the name should be corrected and the name of the tree should be changed to "plane tree". In Chinese, if a plant is a tree, then its name is what kind of tree, such as poplar, locust tree, maple tree, acacia tree and so on. For this reason, if it is called "plane tree", the name gives the impression that it is wood, not the name of the tree.

Therefore, it is not good to call it "plane tree", it should be called "".Plane tree

1.French paulownia is another name for the plane tree family, the plane tree plant, and the common name"Tung Tree"。The two-ball plane is a hybrid of the American sycamore.

The root distribution is shallow, and it is susceptible to damage and tilt during typhoons. It has strong resistance to air pollution, and the blades have the effect of absorbing toxic gases and stagnant dust. This species has a tall trunk, lush branches and leaves, rapid growth, easy to survive, and resistant to pruning, so it is widely planted as a street greening tree species, and it is also a fast-growing timber tree species; It has strong resistance to toxic gases such as Ryu dioxide and chlorine.

It was bred in London, England, and was later introduced from London to be widely cultivated in major cities around the world as street trees and garden greening trees. A large number of plane trees were introduced to China in the 20th century.

In the first and twenties, it was mainly planted by the French in the French concession of Shanghai, so it was called "French Sycamore", referred to as "French Tung", in fact, it was not of French origin, and Hangzhou generally planted the most hybrid "Yingtong". The two-ball plane has a good heterosis, rapid growth, easy reproduction, large leaves and thick shade, beautiful tree posture, pruning resistance, and has the effect of purifying the air, and is known as the "king of street trees in the world". <

1. Different shapes:

1) The Chinese plane tree has a straight body and green bark that is smooth. The leaves are triangular star-shaped, and the trunk is generally not thick. In autumn, the leaves turn pale yellow. The fruit is a solid fruit in the shape of a ball, about 4-5 mm in diameter.

2) The bark of the French plane tree is grayish-brown to grayish-white, flaking off in a thin sheet. The leaves are large and broadly ovate. The nuts are globular in shape, 3-6 balls form a bunch, and the survivors accompany the flower column to be long, hairy, and the fruit stalk is long and drooping.

2. The growth environment is different

1) Sycamore chinensis is suitable for growing in deep, moist, fertile and well-drained soil; It can grow on acidic soil, neutral soil and calcareous soil, and is seen in limestone mountains.

2) The French sycamore has no strict requirements for soil, but it is suitable for growing in slightly acidic or neutral, well-drained soil, although the slightly alkaline soil can grow, but it is easy to yellow.

3. Different origins: (1) China's sycamore is produced in the northern and southern provinces of China, from Hainan Island, Guangdong to North China. It is also found in Japan. Most of them are cultivated artificially.

2) Native to southeastern Europe and western Asia, the French sycamore has been cultivated for a long time, and it is recorded that it was introduced in the Jin Dynasty of China. There are ancient trees in Yi District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, called the sweat tree or the Kumarosh tree.

The origin of the sycamore is in China, and the origin of the French sycamore is in Europe; The families and genera are different, the sycamore is a deciduous tree plant of the genus Sycamore, and the French plane tree is a tall tree of the genus Plane tree; The morphology varies from the plane tree to a height of 15 meters and a green bark, to the French plane tree is 35 meters tall and the bark is distributed in blocks.

The origin of the sycamore is in China, and it is cultivated in various provinces and municipalities in the north and south of China, as well as in the Americas and Europe. The origin of the French sycamore is in Europe, and it is distributed in India, Southeast Asia and the Americas, and was introduced late in China.

The sycamore tree is a deciduous tree plant of the family Sycamoreaceae in winter, and is an ornamental tree species in the courtyard garden. The plane tree is a large tree plant of plane tree, which is a world-famous excellent shade tree and street tree, and has high ornamental value.

The sycamore tree is up to 15 meters high, the trunk is straight, the bark is green, the leaves are alternate, with long stalks, in the form of palm fissures, the flowers are yellow, and the inflorescences are conical. The height of the French plane tree can reach 35 meters, the bark is distributed in blocks, and the leaves are palm-lobed, and the number of lobes is 3 7 lobes.

Sycamore trees are less hardy and thrive in fertile, deep, moist and well-draining soils. Sycamore is suitable for growing in a sunny and warm environment, has strong cold tolerance, and can grow vigorously in acidic or neutral soils.
