Sunburst Honeylocust - Gleditsia triacanthos 'Sunburst'
Brooklyn (Cleveland Area) Planted: 1967
8815 Morton Site: 7' Tree Lawn

1971 Comments:
The trees are upright spreading, uniform in size and habit, and fit well into this size tree lawn with shallow setback houses. There are utility lines overhead on one side of the street. Due to the unusual foliage color of bright yellow in the spring, these trees could be used better on shorter street, cul-de-sacs, etc., where only a few trees are used in a limited area.

1997 Comments:
These plants are in 7' tree lawns and they have survived nicely. These plants tend to be slow-growing compared to other honeylocust selections. Plants have caused a considerable amount of disruption to the sidewalk. One resident that we talked with loved the atmosphere that these plants created.

 


Ninety-two percent of the overall planting survived (70 of 76 trees).
1997 data on the table are based on five trees.
