8815 Morton, Brooklyn (Cleveland Area)
Planted: 1967
Site: 7' Tree Lawn
1971 Comments: The trees are upright spreading, uniform in size and habit, and fit well into this size tree lawn with shallow setback houses. There are utility lines overhead on one side of the street. Due to the unusual bright yellow foliage color in the spring, these trees could be used better on shorter streets, cul-de-sacs, etc., where only a few trees are used in a limited area.

1997 Comments: These plants are in seven-foot tree lawns and they have survived nicely. These plants tend to be slow growing compared to other honeylocust selections. Plants have caused a considerable amount of disruption to the sidewalk. One resident that we talked with loved the atmosphere that these plants created.
Ninety-two percent of the overall planting survived (70 of 76 trees). The 1997 data in the table are based on five trees.
