North at Market, Wooster
Planted: 1961
Site: 8' Tree Lawn
1971 Comments: Trees are upright, V-shaped in character and quite uniform. They will not grow out of bounds on this 8-foot tree lawn. This area is close to downtown and these small trees are out of scale with the large buildings in the vicinity. They are somewhat protected from severe weather exposure and are growing well.

1997 Comments: These plants are in three-foot-square sidewalk cuts. Approximately ten plants were originally planted in a eight-foot tree lawn. Given the changes at this site, this may be a good survival rate. The two trees that remain are seriously declining. In the Shade Tree Evaluation Plots, these plants have lasted approximately twenty years.
Twenty percent of the overall planting survived (2 of 10 trees). The 1997 data
in the table are based on two trees.
