Platanus acerifolia, Tour Eiffel, Paris, France - Exceptional Trees on Waymarking.com

Ce Platane à six troncs est situé au pied de la tour Eiffel, dans le Parc du Champs de Mars.
"Sa forme tentaculaire est très originale. Elle serait issue d’un phénomène de fusion entre six individus originels, plantés de manière très rapprochée en ce même endroit. En effet les
platanes, comme d’autres essences, sont capables d’unir leurs troncs pour n’en former qu’un seul lorsqu’ils se développent de manière vigoureuse en situation exigüe.
Aujourd’hui, on dénombre à six, le nombre d’individus ayant eu l’impressionnante capacité de former ce platane «multiple»." (visit link)
