About Tilia cordata 'Greenspire’
About Tilia cordata 'Greenspire’
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.
