1216 Shanley, Columbus

Planted: 1959

Site: 8' Tree Lawn

1971 Comments: These plants are of the typical habit for this cultivar which is rounded or globos and provide a very unified appearance throughout the area. The presence of many larger trees on the homeowners' property might lead to some crowding in future years as this tree spreads in diameter. There are no overhead lines.
