Plane Tree - Plane trees store an abundance of starch in broad rays. Plane trees maintain a thick green cortex-like layer under the outer bark on mature trees. The phellem is shed every growth period and the green layer is exposed. Many other tree species have a similar mechanism for maintaining a cortex-like layer on aging trunks.
