Tilia cordata 'Greenspire': 'Greenspire' Littleleaf Linden: ENH-796/ST639, 10/2003

Abstract

`Greenspire' Littleleaf Linden grows 50 to 75 feet tall and can spread 40 to 50 feet, but is normally seen 40 to 50 feet tall with a 35 to 40-foot-spread in most landscapes. This tree has a faster growth rate than the species and a dense pyramidal to oval crown which casts deep shade. The leaves are smaller than the species adding a delicate touch to the tree. From a distance the tree almost resembles a narrow version of the Bradford Callery Pear. Original publication date November 1993.
