Littleleaf Linden

Tilia cordata

The Littleleaf Linden is shaped like a rounded pyramid, it adds a definite sense of scale and proportion to your yard. The glossy, dark green leaves are heart-shaped and grow densely, making this an exceptional shade tree. The small yellowish flowers appear in June and smell wonderful. Small, round seeds are also produced, and they persist well into winter and the leaves stay green on the tree longer than many others. The Littleleaf Linden tolerates all kinds of soils, including clay.
