We prove that any planar graph onnvertices has less thanO(5.2852n) spanning trees. Under the restriction that the planar graph is 3-connected and contains no triangle and no quadrilateral the number of its spanning trees is less thanO(2.7156n). As a consequence of the latter the grid size needed to realize a 3d polytope with integer coordinates can be bounded byO(147.7n). Our observations imply improved upper bounds for related quantities: the number of cycle-free graphs in a planar graph is bounded byO(6.4884n), the number of plane spanning trees on a set ofnpoints in the plane is bounded byO(158.6n), and the number of plane cycle-free graphs on a set ofnpoints in the plane is bounded byO(194.7n).
