Tilia x flavescens 'Glenleven'

Glenleven Linden

Glenleven linden develops a tall, pyramidal crown with a somewhat open branch arrangement. Its relatively vigorous growth and yellow autumn leaves suit a spacious shade-tree planting.

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.
