Greenspire Littleleaf Linden

Greenspire Littleleaf Linden (Tilia cordata 'Greenspire') Greenspire Littleleaf Linden, Tilia cordata 'Greenspire', is a dependable shade tree known for its strong central leader, narrowly pyramidal form, and fragrant early summer bloom. The dense, uniform canopy and medium size make it an excellent choice for streetscapes, driveways, and suburban yards where a clean, upright profile is important. Small, heart shaped leaves create a rich green curtain of foliage through the growing season, then shift to warm yellow tones in fall, so this tree provides structure, shade, and seasonal color in both residential and commercial landscapes. Distinctive Features Greenspire Littleleaf Linden generally matures to about 40 to 50 feet tall and 25 to 30 feet wide, with a well defined central trunk and evenly spaced lateral branches that form a tight, pyramidal crown. The small, glossy green leaves give the canopy a fine textured look and cast a cool, even shade beneath the tree. In early summer, pale yellow flowers appear in drooping clusters on slender stalks, adding subtle color and a sweet, honey like fragrance that attracts bees and other pollinators. As the season progresses, winged nutlets follow the bloom, and the foliage takes on golden yellow hues in fall, giving the tree a graceful autumn presence. Growing Conditions...
