Callery Pear - Pyrus calleryana
South Euclid (Cleveland Area) Planted: 1960
4516 Birchwold Site: 12' Tree Lawn

1971 Comments:
The trees are upright spreading in habit in scale with the area and appear to be a good selection for this tree lawn. These trees are fast growing. Some dieback has been found in this planting.

1997 Comments:
The tree lawn width is 12' which is very generous. Only one of the original plants remains. There was a little sidewalk damage. A homeowner stated that there was a lot of branch loss during a recent storm. Stubs decay rapidly.

 
Sixty-nine percent of the original planting survived (27 of 39 trees).
1997 data on the table are based on four trees.
