POLLINATION/BLOOM TIME: Flowers in June/July
RECOMMENDED GROWING AND CARE:
Prefers a good moist loamy alkaline to neutral soil but it also succeeds on slightly acid soils. Tolerates many soil conditions. Takes well to pruning of any kind.
DISEASE RESISTANCE: Excellent - fuzzy leaf surfaces deter aphids, which tend to bother other Linden varieties. Very drought tolerant once established and a great tree for tough urban locations.
