CULTURAL LANDSCAPE TREATMENT PLAN ROBERT ALLERTON PARK, MONTICELLO, ILLINOIS

12D.

Cedars

The cedars lining the Vine Walk are now nearing maturity, with many plants missing, and are shading the Vine Walk. Once forest has been pruned back to allow adequate space and light, remove remaining cedars and replant a double row on the south side and a single row on north side with the same or a more compact variety.

12E. Vine Walk Structure

The western section of the Vine Walk was removed in 1947 and not replaced. The eastern section is deteriorated and broken in places. Restore deteriorated trellising in eastern section. Replace missing western section of trellising and repair existing brick columns.

12F. Vine Walk Plantings

Vines have been shaded out by adjacent trees and wisteria has been crowded out by invasive vines. Ground is compacted with poor quality turf and inadequate drainage. Once adjacent forest has been cut back (see above) restore trellis plantings with new wisteria and narcissus and new turf capable of handling heavy pedestrian traffic.
