Add item to quote to see pricing

Tilia tomentosa is a majestic addition to any landscape, boasting a grand stature of 50-70 feet that is as impressive as it is resilient. Often referred to by its picturesque nickname, the Silver Linden, this deciduous tree commands attention with its expansive canopy of heart-shaped leaves. Each leaf tells a tale of two colors – an intriguing dark green on the top, and a reflective silvery underside that gives this tree its name. As the seasons turn to late spring and early summer, the Silver Linden undergoes a glorious transformation; clusters of creamy-yellow flowers bloom amidst the verdant foliage and fill the air with a delicately sweet aroma, attracting bees and butterflies and affirming its reputation for supporting wildlife. Reveling in full sun to partial shade environments, the Silver Linden is not just high in ornamental value, but equally appreciated for its adaptability. Its moderate water needs and resilience in various soils make it a practical, low-maintenance choice for the discerning landscaper. Whether you're planning to enhance an urban or a suburban setting, the Tilia tomentosa assures you of a mesmerizing spectacle of nature’s strength and beauty.
