Fassens Black Norway Maple - Acer platanoides 'Fassens Black'
Cleveland Area Planted: 1960
14310 Arlin Site: 7' Tree Lawn

1971 Comments:
These trees have the typical globular form of Acer platanoides and will probably cause traffic interference problems because of a narrow street and a narrow tree lawn. However, the trees create an attractive and uniform appearance throughout the area.

1997 Comments:
It appears that a few plants are Crimson King replacements rather than the original Fassens Black. A number of the plants are beginning to decline although some are in good condition.
Seventy-nine percent of the overall planting survived (19 of 24 trees).
1997 data on the table are based on three tree.
