The trees are broad spreading in character and interfering with the lower level of utility lines. It is doubtful if any tree could be selected that would not interfere with these lines. This cultivar as well as most selections of Crataegus oxyacantha is unsatisfactory as a street tree because of its susceptibility to plant pests. These trees are heavily infested with scale and insects. They become partially defoliated most summers due to leaf spot diseases. From the aesthetic standpoint, as related to habit and size, these trees are suited to the situation.

The original plants are no longer present. The entire subdivision was removed to provide a noise buffer for the Cleveland airport.
