Ancient Trees by Species

Cities group these trees by place; collections group them by theme. This page groups them by what they actually are. A London plane in Barcelona and a London plane in Warsaw are the same tree living two different lives, and reading them side by side tells you something a city page cannot: how long the species lives, what it does in autumn, and which cities planted it when.
