It's not a disease – it's smart climate adaptation. The old bark insulates, allowing it to peel off as the temperature rises, making room for new, lighter, and more breathable bark. So, the next time you see the peeling, camouflage-like trunks, they are just the tree adapting to summer stress. I attached a few photos, including an ecosystem-impact snapshot from this plane tree I recently documented.

Natural for when they grow in girth. Not related to summer heat, just natural cycle.
