Trident Maple - Liquidambar styraciflua
Wooster Planted: 1963
718 Western Site: 8' Tree Lawn

1971 Comments:
These trees are pyramidal, uniform in size and provide an excellent appearance for the street particularly with the attractive fall color. They provide shade for both lawn and street, however, the branches may ultimately interfere with power lines overhead.

1997 Comments:
These trees create a large canopy effect in the area. They have been pruned for overhead wires. There is considerable damage to the sidewalks by these plants. The neighbors must like these plants because replacements have been sweetgums.

 


Eight-seven percent of the overall planting survived (23 of 27 trees).
1997 data on the table are based on four trees.
