European linden

Overview

The European linden (Tilia europaea) is a large deciduous tree with a round crown and distinctive heart-shaped leaves. It produces fragrant yellowish-white flowers in late spring, followed by winged fruits or nutlets. It prefers moist, well-drained soils and partial shade but will tolerate dry, poor soils. It is a popular choice for parks and gardens, providing both ornamental value and an excellent source of food for bees and other pollinators. The European linden is a hardy and long-lived tree, capable of growing in a variety of environments.
