Tilia cordata | Littleleaf Linden

Linden is known to be an excellent shade tree, with a dense, pyramidal form and large, almost heart-shaped leaves. Leaves are green above, silvery below, adding interest as they blow in the wind. Flowers are small but highly fragrant. Littleaf Linden is native to Europe, which are often preferred choices. 'Greenspire' is an improved selection. Accepts sandy to clay soils, if well drained.
