Distinguishable from all other plane trees by its variegated leaf. Grows less vigorously than the species and will eventually become a broad oval tree of 8 to 15 m. The leaf emerges soft greenish pink to light green. In summer it is green with strong creamy white marbling and mottling. In autumn the leaf turns brownish yellow. Fallen leaves do not rot easily. The spherical florescence hangs in pairs on long stalks on which the spiky fruits later appear. These remain on the tree until well into winter. The bark of ‘Suttneri’ is the same as that found on the other P. x hispanica cultivars. Plane trees tolerate paving very well but the shallow roots may push paving upwards. Takes pruning very well, even in old wood. Saplings require a tree stake for support and young branches break easily.
