Tilia Cordata - Evergreen Trees Direct

PLANT PROFILE

Tilia cordata, commonly known as Small-Leaved Lime or Little-Leaf Linden, is a medium to large deciduous shade tree with a formal, upright pyramidal canopy. It features dark green, heart-shaped leaves that turn a bright golden yellow in autumn, adding seasonal interest and reliable shade.

They look excellent when planted as avenue trees, in parks, or along streetscapes, providing a refined and symmetrical form. The fragrant pale-yellow flowers bloom in late spring to early summer, attracting bees and enhancing pollinator-friendly gardens.

Well-suited to a wide range of soils and urban conditions, Tilia cordata tolerates pollution and moderate drought once established. For added landscape impact, it can be underplanted with shade-tolerant perennials or groundcovers to create layered and textured garden beds. Maintenance is low to moderate, with formative pruning recommended in early years to develop a strong structure.

How to Plant:

  1. Site Selection: Choose a location with well-draining soil and adequate sunlight for optimal growth.
  2. Soil Preparation: Prepare the soil by incorporating organic matter and ensuring proper drainage.
  3. Planting: Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, position the tree, and backfill with soil.
  4. Watering: Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil and hydrate the root system.

Use this as a reference when digging your planting hole. We recommend digging at least 10% wider than the dimensions below to encourage strong root development.
