Tilia petiolaris

Pendent Silver Linden

Line roads or long driveways with tall, uniform, pyramidal Lindens. Their dense foliage becomes covered with fragrant yellowish flowers that attract honeybees. In colder regions, foliage turns yellow in fall. Aphid infestation causes honeydew drip. Stake young trees. Prune to remove basal sprouts and dead or damaged limbs. Mulch to keep soil moist and cool.

A tree of elegant proportions, its branches touch the ground. Experts consider it one of the most beautiful of all Lindens. Plant only where space allows full development of graceful habit. Flowers are strongly fragrant.
