Columnar Norway Maple - Acer platanoides 'Columnare'
Wooster Planted: 1961
345 North Market Site: 10' Tree Lawn

1970 Comments:
The trees are narrow columnar in habit, well-established, and have a very formal appearance. Although there is an overhead line, the trees appear too narrow for this commercial area where the buildings are set back from the street.

1997 Comments:
Some of the remaining plants are doing poorly. These plants are beginning to broaden with age as is typical of upright cultivars. This high traffic area may impact the plants somewhat. Although the trees were formal and upright, they are now informal and spreading.


Fifty-six percent of the overall planting survived (9 of 16 trees).
1997 data on the table are based on four trees.
