ACER PLATANOIDES 'CLEVELAND' Cleveland Norway Maple

5716 Shawnee Rd. Lyndhurst (Cleveland Area)

Planted: 1953

Site: 7' Tree Lawn

1971 Comments: These trees are of the typical oval habit of this cultivar. They have not increased in caliper even though they were planted approximately eighteen years ago. Some of the tree trunks have frost cracks, but the general appearance is good. Locating the trees in the center of the tree lawn rather than close to the sidewalk side would have been a better choice.
