types of linden trees
A well-shaped tree for use in yard, parks or lining avenues, littleleaf linden (Tilia cordata) has a reputation for tolerating tough urban conditions such as heavy clay, alkaline soils and moderate drought better than other lindens.
Also a large shade or park tree, the silver linden (Tilia tomentosa) grows large heart-shaped leaves with silvery undersides that become most attractive in a sweeping breeze. Its smooth trunk bark also displays a silvery to pale gray tone. This species tolerates summer heat better than others.
