Learn About Your New Tilia cordata 'Greenspire' - Greenspire Littleleaf Linden
Tilia cordata ‘Greenspire’, or Greenspire Littleleaf Linden, is a compact deciduous shade tree with a narrow, upright pyramidal form and a strong central leader. Its small, heart-shaped green leaves form a dense summer canopy, complemented by fragrant pale-yellow flowers in early summer that attract pollinators.
They look excellent when planted in formal avenues, streetscapes, and public parks, offering structured shade and a clean, elegant silhouette. Well-suited for tight planting spaces and urban conditions, Greenspire tolerates air pollution, soil compaction, and moderate drought once established.
For enhanced landscape impact, it pairs well with underplantings of shade-tolerant perennials or low-growing shrubs to soften its structured form and add seasonal interest. Low maintenance and adaptable to various soils, it is ideal for civic plantings, formal driveways, and urban green spaces.

Post Planting Care
When planting a new tree or shrub, proper watering is essential to ensure healthy establishment and long-term growth. Follow these guidelines to give your plant the best start:
- Immediately After Planting:
Water generously right after planting to settle the soil around the roots and eliminate air pockets. This helps the roots make good contact with the soil. - First Three Months (Establishment Phase):
The initial three months are critical for root development. Water deeply twice daily (morning and evening) to encourage strong, deep root growth. - Irrigation Systems:
If using an irrigation system, adjust it to provide adequate water during the establishment phase. Ensure the water reaches the root zone without overwatering. - Weather Considerations:
Adjust watering based on weather conditions. Increase frequency during hot, dry periods and reduce it during cooler, wetter seasons. - Ongoing Care:
After the establishment phase (3 months), gradually reduce watering frequency but ensure the plant receives consistent moisture, especially during dry spells.
