Planted: 1956

1997 Comments: These plants were originally planted in a six-foot tree lawn. There were an estimated nine plants planted. None survived. We have consistently had English Hawthorn die. This is in keeping with the situation in the Shade Tree Evaluation Plot where fire blight killed most of the plants in about 10 years.

Zero percent of the overall planting survived (0 of 9 trees).

No data.
