The plane trees genus require full sun and can tolerate a variety of soil conditions, however, they thrive best in deep, well-drained soils. They have a moderate moisture requirement but are drought-tolerant once established. Common challenges include pests like sycamore lace bugs and diseases like anthracnose, canker stain, and leaf spot. These trees are sensitive to air pollution and salt. Seasonal considerations include light pruning during the late winter or early spring before new growth begins. During summer, watering might need to be increased, especially for younger trees.
