It is known for its longevity and spreading crown.  

The species name derives from its historical distribution eastward from the [[Balkans]], where it was recognized in ancient Greek history and literature. Following Greek usage it is called ''Platane'' or related names in [[Europe]]. It was equally as famous to the Iranian-speaking world and from  [[Turkey]] to Occupied [[Kashmir]] is called ''Chenar'' or related names, following the Iranian.

The native range of the Oriental plane is Eurasia from the [[Balkans]] to as far east as at least [[Iran]]. Some accounts extend its native range to [[Iberian Peninsula|Iberia]] in the west, and to the [[Himalaya]]s in the east.

The oriental plane is found naturally in [[river]]ine settings, together with such trees as [[alder]], [[willow]] and [[Populus|poplar]]. However, it is quite capable of survival and success in dry soils once it is established. In Kashmir it is recognised as the State tree of the region.
