Tilia americana Frontyard

Frontyard Linden

Frontyard American linden forms a broadly pyramidal crown when young, becoming rounder with age. Its symmetrical branches support dense green foliage that casts substantial shade. Leaves turn yellow in fall, and fragrant yellow flowers appear in early summer.

Plant in sun or partial sun with adequately moist, well-drained soil. Avoid sites exposed to heavy deicing salt, where leaf scorch can be troublesome.
