Tilia americana Boulevard

Boulevard Linden

Boulevard American linden offers a tall, relatively narrow pyramid with green summer leaves. Its upright proportions make it useful where a substantial shade tree is needed with less lateral spread.

The canopy loses its leaves for winter. Autumn color includes yellow. Allow the natural framework to develop without crowding neighboring plants or paths.

Choose a sunny position with well-drained soil. Water during establishment and allow enough room for the developing crown.
