Add item to quote to see pricing

Tilia tomentosa 'Sterling' is a breathtaking example of natural majesty in the form of a deciduous tree. Often crowned the Sterling Silver Linden, this resilient tree stands tall at 50-70 feet. It marvelously combines durability and beauty, withstanding harsh urban pollution and diverse soil conditions while causing heads to turn with its eye-catching pyramid-shaped canopy. Its heart-shaped verdant leaves carry a touch of mystique, revealing a silvery sheen underneath that subtly glistens in the sunlight. Summers transform this tree into a source of beauty and fragrance, thanks to clusters of creamy yellow flowers that grace its branches. Thriving in moderate water usage and adaptable to both full sun and partial shade, the Sterling Silver Linden is not just an aesthetic addition but a real lifesaver in hot summer days by providing cooling shade. Its impressive size and striking visual appeal make it an ideal, almost essential centerpiece for any spacious landscaping design.
