  • Description

  • Notes

A large deciduous tree that can reach 30-50', Littleleaf Linden creates a dense pyramid that can be used as a screen. It blooms with white fragrant flowers. It does well in urban settings. Its cultivars are budded onto the understocks of the seedlings. Should the native soil be of a clay-like nature, then plant the tree high so as to allow for drainage. They combine well with bulbs, azaleas, Japanese holly, and Burkwood viburnum.
