Rosebloom Crabapple - Malus purpurea
Toledo Planted: 1958
3171 Astor Site: 12' Tree Lawn

1971 Comments
This tree has a typical upright spreading habit and low scaffold branches that create a problem with pedestrian traffic. The uniformity of size and habit creates an attractive planting for this street and provides a nice setting for the homes. The fact that this species is susceptible to apple scab may create some maintenance problems and also lead to unsightly looking trees by midsummer.

1997 Comments:
The plants were removed at the owners' request because of apple scab causing annual defoliation. No original plants remain. Residents indicated that the plants were in fair shape when they were removed.

 


No trees survived.
