Tilia cordata Shamrock

Shamrock Linden

Shamrock linden (Tilia cordata 'Baileyi') forms a balanced, pyramidal canopy with uniformly distributed branches. Dark green foliage turns yellow in autumn, and relatively vigorous early growth helps establish its framework.

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.
