ACER PLATANOIDES 'CLEVELAND' Cleveland Norway Maple

902 Pittsburgh, Wooster

Planted: 1956

Site: 10' Tree Lawn

1971 Comments: These trees are pyramidal in habit. Although they appear to be a good choice for this 10-foot wide tree lawn, they are already growing into overhead utility lines and will pose a problem in the future.
