Thing #26 that I love about Geneva - Cheeto Trees

I was a frightfully unobservant person before I moved here, so it is entirely possible that I had Plane-trees growing out the window of every house I have ever lived in for my whole life and just never noticed, but when I first came to Geneva and saw these trees I almost fell on the ground from a mix of awe and laughter.

Being a serious botanist, I dubbed these trees "Cheeto Trees" - I think the picture explains my logic.

Actually, I am ashamed to admit this, but it is only now, after over eight years of living here, that I have bothered to find out their actual name.

Plane tree, Schmane tree! They'll always be Cheeto Trees to me.
