TILIA 
Each Ten Hundred 
americana. 80'-90' American Linden 
In a fairly moist location this native Basswood will, once 
started, quickly develop into a large limbed round topped 
tree, handsome in its dress of great heart shaped leaves, 
conspicuous in June when the fragrant flowers attract bees.

cordata. 70'-80' Littleleaf European Linden 
Generally conceded the best form for street planting as the 
dark green leaves remain good until late autumn. The 
compact low branched head is particularly fitted to lawn 
purposes where the branches make a natural canopy.

piatyphyllos (grandiflora) 80'-100' Bigleaf European Linden 
Maybe not as popular as the small leaved brother but a

— pyramidalis. 40'-50' Pyramidal Linden 
For narrow avenues or even an accent tree this would 
be a good choice as the clean branches all grow upward.

tomentosa. (argentea) 50'-60' Silver Linden 
Few trees could be more handsome than this striking 
species. The heart-shaped leaves are green above and 
silvery white beneath. Grows into a compact specimen, 
in June surrounded by bees gathering honey from the 
sweetly fragrant greenish yellow flowers.
