London Planetree - Platanus acerifolia
Toledo Planted: 1960
1415 Prospect Site: 12' Tree Lawn

1971 Comments:
These trees are uniform in size and shape. Their ultimate height will probably pose a problem since there are power lines directly overhead on one side of the street. They are located close to the sidewalk side of the tree lawn and provide a setting for the older houses which have a very shallow setback from the street.

1997 Comments:
These plants are in generous 12' tree lawns. They have been trimmed to provide clearance for the overhead power lines. Therefore, the overall height is less than expected.
Sixty-eight percent of the overall planting survived ( 26 of 38 trees).
1997 data on the table are based on 4 trees.
