Greenspire Linden

Do you have a challenging site for a tree? Perhaps it's windy. Maybe it's too wet or too dry? Does the tree need to live in the 'hell-strip' between the sidewalk and the street? How about a small patio yard in a big city? Are you concerned about smog or salt?

Try the strongly pyramidal Greenspire® Linden (Tilia cordata 'PNI 6025') tree. It features a neat, trim and uniform appearance. You'll love the look.

It's also one of the most adaptable trees you'll find. Greenspire Linden even thrives in urban environments. Simply give it a spot in full sun and enjoy!

They make excellent shade trees. Plant a row along the street or use one as an accent near a patio. Place one at the corner of your house to anchor a foundation planting. Or, plant a lawn grouping of three to create a lovely view from the deck.

One of Greenspire's best assets is the fragrant, yellow flowers that bloom in early summer. How nice that this tree blooms after most other flowering trees are done for the year. You'll really appreciate the yummy, spicy scent and so will local honeybees and butterflies.

Fall color is another great feature. As the nights get cooler, the dark green heart-shaped leaves turn an outstanding gold. In fall, Greenspire Linden leaves seem to glow from within!

How to Use Greenspire Linden in the Landscape

This is an excellent street tree, with controlled growth. It needs almost no pruning once the branches have been raised up to the desired height.

Formal plantings can be planted in rows or blocks on large properties. Plant trees 20 feet apart on center, measuring from trunk to trunk. This application could also become an interesting backdrop on large commercial landscapes.

The small yellow flowers have a spicy fragrance and they bloom in early summer. Honeybees make Basswood honey from the Linden flower. This is a valuable, high-end honey. Add this tree to hobby farms or homesteads.

#ProPlantTips for Care

Urban planners often use this tree in parks because of its adaptability to moist or dry soils. Drought tolerance increases as the roots become established after the first few seasons.

Until then, give young trees a moderate amount of water regularly. Protect your investment, especially if you have a long dry spell.

Any maintenance pruning is best done in late winter or very early spring before it starts to put on new growth for the season. There shouldn't be much call for the loppers, however, because of the superior form.

The only thing to watch for is this tree grows quite dense with a very formal outline. You may want to thin the crown as it develops by removing a few interior branches. You'll only need to do this if it looks like the branch spacing is a bit too tight.

Otherwise, this adaptable, beautiful tree is very easy care. Feel confident in your decision to go with Greenspire Linden. LetsPlantify.com takes pride in delivering commercial-grade, landscape quality plants. Order today!
