ACER PLATANOIDES 'Globosum' Globe Norway Maple

2917 East Moorland Dr., Columbus

Planted: 1953

Site: Homeowners' Lawns

1971 Comments: There is considerable dieback on all trees and no cause has been diagnosed. Because of this, the trees have a very poor appearance and do not add to the attractiveness of the area. They are planted on the homeowners' property and there are no sidewalks or utility lines. Because of the space available, a larger tree would have been more suitable in this location.
