Was selected as seedling because of unusual growth and crown shape. When young, grows vigorously and forms a straight central leader. Good branching creates a quite dense but regular crown which will eventually become broad ovoid. Thanks to somewhat compact growth, ‘Louisa Lead’ remains fractionally shorter than the species. The other features are the same as the species. The summer leaf is mid-green, turning brownish yellow in autumn. Fallen leaves do not rot easily. The spherical florescence hangs in pairs on long stalks on which the spiky fruits later appear. These remain on the tree until well into winter. Plane trees tolerate paving very well but the shallow roots may push paving upwards. Takes pruning very well, even in old wood. ‘Louisa Lead’ shows good wind tolerance.

Správny čas na výsadbu stromu je mimo vegetačné obdobie. V strednej Európe môže byť Platanus ×hispanica 'Louisa Lead' so zemným balom vysadený od polovice novembra do konca apríla, avšak závisí to veľmi od klimatických podmienok a druhu stromu.
