The Greenspire Littleleaf Linden (Tilia cordata 'PNI 6025') is a popular, hardy, and highly symmetrical deciduous shade tree, widely favored for urban landscapes. It typically grows 40–50 feet tall with a 30–35 foot spread, featuring a distinctively uniform, pyramidal crown and fragrant, yellow, early-summer flowers that attract bees.
Key Features & Characteristics
- Foliage: Small, heart-shaped (cordate) leaves that are dark, glossy green in summer, turning a bright, golden yellow in autumn.
- Form: A fast-growing tree with a strong central leader and dense branching, creating a refined, formal, cone-like shape.
- Flowers: Prolific, fragrant, pale yellow flowers bloom in late June to July.
- Hardiness: Extremely hardy (Zones 3–8), tolerating temperatures down to -40∘F
- Durability: Highly tolerant of pollution, compacted soil, drought (once established), and adaptable to clay or dry conditions.
Landscaping & Maintenance
