Redmond Linden

Redmond Linden (Tilia americana 'Redmond') Redmond Linden, Tilia americana 'Redmond', is a vigorous American linden selection prized for its strong central leader, broadly pyramidal form, and dense shade canopy on a medium to large tree. Throughout the growing season, large heart shaped green leaves create a full curtain of foliage that cools patios, lawns, and streetscapes, while in early summer, clusters of pale yellow flowers dangle beneath the branches, adding a light honey like fragrance and attracting bees. With its symmetrical outline, reliable growth, and classic shade tree presence, Redmond Linden is a smart choice for wide residential lots, parks, and commercial sites that need a durable, long lived canopy tree. Distinctive Features Redmond Linden typically matures to about 40 to 50 feet tall and 25 to 35 feet wide, forming a broadly pyramidal to oval crown with a strong, straight trunk and well spaced lateral branches. The large, medium green leaves give the canopy a bold, textured look and cast deep, even shade beneath the tree. In early summer, clusters of creamy to pale yellow flowers appear on drooping stalks, offering nectar for pollinators and adding subtle seasonal interest after many spring flowering trees have finished. As the season advances, winged nutlets follow the bloom, and in fall the foliage often shifts to soft yellow tones, giving Redmond a gentle but attractive autumn display that reads well against evergreens and darker foliage trees.
