Planted: Date Unknown

Site: 7.5' Tree Lawn

1997 Comments: These plants were planted in generous 7.5-foot wide tree lawns, yet none of the original plants remains. Sugar Maple is the primary replacement. Four- to six-foot plants are doing well at this particular point. The tree conditions at this site mimic that of the other in this study.
