1268 Plainfield, Cleveland
Planted: 1955
Site: 7' Tree Lawn
1971 Commments: This tree is faster growing but less uniform than other Gleditsia cultivars, so it requires extensive pruning during the first six years of growth. It fits well in this tree lawn. Utility lines are overhead, but there is no interference with the lines at the present time. The street is residential and very attractive because of the large trees on both sides.
