Tilia tomentosa Green Mountain

Green Mountain Linden

Green Mountain silver linden has dark green leaves with pale, silvery undersides. Breezes reveal the contrasting leaf surfaces, adding movement and a changing sheen to its dense, symmetrical canopy.

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.
