The Shingle Oak, which is also referred as Platanus x acerifolia, lives around eastern, central and southern U.S.. It normally look like 50 to 75' tall, making it a plant very different from others. In the summer, its foliage looks like simple, unlobed leaves and in the automn it is more or less yellow-brown. The Shingle Oak (Platanus x acerifolia) has beautiful flowers that are monoecious and grows fruits, characterized as small acorns. Its bark is very interesting, where we see gray brown color on it. An interesting information to note on the way it is cultured is that fairly easy to transplant for an oak However, a bad thing with the Shingle Oak can be that possible twig kill in severe winters A way to identify a Platanus x acerifolia with its unlobed leaves distinguish it from many oaks.
