Littleleaf Linden

Description

The Littleleaf Linden is a deciduous shade tree native to Europe, prized in North America for its symmetrical, pyramidal shape and fragrant summer blooms. It features small, dark green heart shaped leaves that are typically 1.5 to 3 inches long. In autumn, the foliage typically turns a pale yellow or chartreuse. This variety produces clusters of small, creamy yellow flowers in late June and July which are highly attractive to bees. It has a moderate growth rate and high tolerance for pollution and various soil conditions making it ideal for planting as a street tree, for boulevard plantings, or in parking lot islands because it handles compacted soil and air pollution effectively. It can also be used as a specimen in moderate to large spaces. Plant where there is a minimum of 6-8 hours of sun daily for maximum growth, density, and bloom.
