CRATAEGUS LAVALLEI Lavalle Hawthorn

2024 Calulmet, Toledo

Planted: 1964

Site: 3' Tree Lawn

1971 Comments: This is a suburban area where the houses are located close to the sidewalk and the trees are planted in a narrow tree lawn. The trees are uniform in character, although they are becoming open which is typical of this age cultivar. It would appear that homeowners park their cars on the street and, since the trees are relatively close to the curb, there is danger of damage by car doors.
