14310 Arlin, Cleveland Area

Planted: 1960

Faasens Black Norway Maple

1997 Comments: It appears that a few plants are Crimson King replacements rather than the original Fassens Black. A number of the plants are beginning to decline although some are in good condition.

Seventy-nine percent of the overall planting survived (19 of 24 trees). The 1997 data in the table are based on three trees.
