It offers a neat, uniform appearance and adapts well to many landscapes, making it a reliable choice for shade, street plantings, and specimen trees. In early summer, clusters of small, fragrant, pale yellow flowers appear, attracting pollinators and adding seasonal interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis deciduous tree is known for its tolerance of urban conditions and its ability to provide cool shade. Its compact leaf size gives it a finer texture than other lindens, and its yellow fall color adds a soft glow to the autumn landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDense, symmetrical canopy with small, heart-shaped leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFragrant, pale yellow flowers in early summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttracts pollinators and beneficial insects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYellow fall foliage color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTolerant of urban conditions and a range of soils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tilia cordata\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deciduous shade tree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist, well-drained soil; adaptable to various soil types\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; water regularly during establishment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pyramidal when young, becoming more rounded with age\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50-70 feet (may vary by site)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30-40 feet apart for shade trees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant your bare root Littleleaf Linden in a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Soak the roots before planting, then dig a hole wide enough to accommodate the root system. Position the tree so the root flare is at or slightly above soil level, backfill with native soil, and water thoroughly to settle the soil. Apply a layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the trunk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system. Once established, the tree is relatively low-maintenance. Prune as needed in late winter to remove dead or crossing branches and to maintain a strong structure. Fertilize in early spring if soil tests indicate a need.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne Littleleaf Linden tree as a 12-inch bare root plant.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824720675126,"sku":"FOLIA2-1081","price":123.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7069209795_mnyd.jpg?v=1793004295","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/littleleaf-linden-tree-12-inch-bare-root-shade-tree-zones-3-7","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
