Fast growing hardy tree with 6 inch heart shaped leaves. Wonderfully fragrant flowers in summer and one of the best honey plants. Silver Linden is widely adapted, most insect and drought resistant linden with prettiest leaves.
ZONE: 4-9
POLLINATION/BLOOM TIME: Mid to late blooming.
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.
SIZE AT MATURITY: To 80' x 40'
