ACER PLATANOIDES Norway Maple

19202 Elsmere Cleveland Area

Planted: 1957

Site: 5' Tree Lawn

1971 Comments: The plants are uniform in height but vary somewhat in spread. Because of the natural character of Acer platanoides, it was necessary to limb up considerably to prevent interference with pedestrian and vehicular traffic in this suburban situation. This tree is wide for a narrow tree lawn and street.

1997 Comments: Would you believe that the entire subdivision is gone? It was removed to provide a noise buffer for Cleveland Hopkins Airport. Currently, the land is vacant, but they do have plans for an industrial park.
