What varieties of London plane are there? What are the market prices? Is the London plane a Chinese parasol tree?

The London plane, also called the cut-leaved plane, is

Key Points of Winter Pruning Techniques for London Plane
London plane, commonly known as plane tree, is a large deciduous tree that can reach 30 m in height. It is a famous shade tree and street tree species, cultivated throughout China, generally used as a street tree. Winter shaping and pruning have an important effect on the growth and tree form of London plane. Without timely and reasonable winter pruning, the tree form will become chaotic, with long main branches, few leaves or low bushy growth, greatly reducing its ornamental value and shading effect. Timely and reasonable pruning can, within a short period, give the tree a majestic, upright, tall and graceful form, with branches well-spaced and orderly, many well-proportioned lateral branches, dense dark green foliage, and enhanced natural immunity of the tree.

Leaves palmately 5-7 lobed, deeply lobed to the middle, lobes longer than wide, leaf base broadly wedge-shaped or truncate, leaf margins toothed, palmately veined; stipules ring-shaped. Inflorescence head-like, yellow-green. Most nutlets clustered into whole-leaf spheres, 3-6 spheres in a string, persistent style long, bristle-like, fruit stalk long and drooping.

Differences Between London Plane, Chinese Parasol Tree and Paulownia - A Quick Guide to Telling Them Apart
In the vigorous development of urban greening and landscaping, identifying and selecting tree species is an important task. The London plane, paulownia and Chinese parasol tree may look like three sisters in urban landscaping, but in fact they belong to different families and genera, and differ greatly in morphology. The London plane is a large deciduous tree of the genus Platanus in the family Platanaceae. Its name comes from its leaves resembling those of the Chinese parasol tree; it was introduced from abroad in old China and was first planted in the French concession of Shanghai, hence the name "fa tong" (French plane). The London plane is actually a collective name for Platanus orientalis and Platanus acerifolia of the genus Platanus. Platanus orientalis reaches 30 m tall, with dark gray bark that peels off in thin flakes, revealing a greenish-white inner bark. Young branches are covered with yellow-brown stellate hairs. Leaves are 8 to 16 cm long and 9 to 18 cm wide, with 5 to 7 deep lobes reaching to or below the middle, the lobes narrow and long, covered with gray-yellow stellate hairs when young and later shedding. The common stalk bears spherical fruit heads 2 to 2.5 cm in diameter, with spiny styles 3 to 4 mm long; flowering in May, fruiting in September to October. Platanus acerifolia is a hybrid of Platanus orientalis and Platanus occidentalis, bred in London, England. It reaches 35 m tall, with bark peeling off in thin flakes and a pale greenish-white inner bark. Young branches and leaves are densely covered with pale brownish-yellow stellate hairs. Leaves are 10 to 24 cm long and 12 to 25 cm wide, with a flat or slightly heart-shaped base, 3 to 5 deep lobes, the middle lobe nearly equal in length and width, with entire or sparsely coarse-toothed margins. Fruit heads are about 2.5 cm in diameter, with spiny styles 2 to 3 mm long. Flowering in April to May, fruiting in September to October.
