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 received from 
Mr. Ernest H. Bennett, Supervising Foreman for the Commis¬ 
sion, 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 beautiful 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.
