Tree identification: London planetree

The tutor identifies a London planetree.

A London planetree is a hybrid between American sycamore and Oriental planetree. (The Oriental planetree is a sycamore as well.)

London planetree’s leaves are similar to American sycamore, but its fruits come in strings of 2 to 4, like Oriental planetree. There’s a tree like that a few blocks away.
