Do Japanese beetles bother London plane tree? They love sycamore
Comments (1)I should say yes! They haven't ravaged mine but they have munched on the leaves to the point where there's a bunch of leaves with a bunch of holes in them. This seems to vary year to year. Last year my columnar European hornbeam had the worse JB attack but this year not so bad....See MoreLondon Plane Tree yellow leaves
Comments (3)I don't understand the issue because the trees under the same conditions it's done so well in all season ==>>> the issue you dont understand.. is that its august ... nights dont cool down for a recovery period... august conditions are not even close to those of spring and early summer .... you have a huge transplant.. and its not enjoying its first summer .. BTW... potted.. or BBurlap ... ??? water properly.. especially in regard to your clay soil.. and otherwise ignore it... its not hungry.. fert is not a remedy ... is it really in that much shade???? all that said... the 65 year old sycamores on moms street.. do this year around.. for 50 odds years.. its a sycamore ... i would speculate.. that a 15 foot transplant will take upwards of 3 years.. to get fully established.. for you to stop worrying about it.. in the mean time.. water properly ... see link on proper watering.. dealing with clay.. and amending planting holes ... ken ps: and if you are one of the lucky few.. who have had substantial rain this summer.. then you ought to find out.. if the soil is draining in your clay .... dig some small holes and find out ...

Comments (11)The OP says it is a London Plane. London planes moisture needs compared with the Sycamore are similar, but, London planes aren't likely to get Anthractnose. A disease that makes Sycamore leaves get brown and die and fall to the ground. If the OP is mistaken, and it was an Arizona Sycamore I guess it would do fine in Az. The platanus Orientalis part of London Plane that should make it okay in Arizona, I think someone should start with a tiny transplant, or even seed before I would try to grow a London Plane in Arizona. My opinion. I just can't see London plane ever surviving in Arizona without lots of irrigation. And a good thick layer of mulch....See MoreKonrad..just outside of Edmonton Alberta
