PHELLODENDRON AMURENSE Amur Corktree

238 College, Wooster

Planted: 1962

Site: 10' Tree Lawn

1971 Comments: There are power lines overhead and because of this, the relatively low-spreading habit of growth of this tree appears to be suitable. However, the very broad character of this tree will probably create some problems because of the shallow setback of the houses.

1997 Comments: These plants are in a 10-foot wide tree lawn. These plants show good growth. They may have done well in this area because of the generous tree lawn.

Seventy-seven percent of the overall planting survived (7 of 9 trees). The 1997 data in the table are based on four trees.
