Tilia Dasystyla (Euchlora) Yellow Twigged Linden 
The yellow-twigged or Crimean Linden is a tree which in 
the past has been little used for street planting. Four years 
ago we induced the Shade Tree Commission of East Orange, 
New Jersey, to plant one street with these trees to prove 
their desirability for this purpose. In a letter recently re¬ 
ceived from Mr. Ernest H. Bennett, Supervising Foreman for 
the Commission, he writes “the trees were planted in the 
Fall of 1911, on Kenwood Place. There are in all seventy- 
five trees in perfect condition, not having lost a single tree. 
The trees are very uniform in size and make a beautiful 
showing, and I predict that this will be one of our most beau¬ 
tiful streets, they are so regular in their growth. We feel 
proud of our trees.” 
The tree is very symmetrical in its growth. The foliage is 
light green with bright shiny surface, remaining on the tree 
without changing color until late in the fall.
