Description
Tilia cordata ‘Greenspire’ (Little Leaf Linden ‘Greenspire’) is a deciduous shade tree valued for its refined, symmetrical form, fragrant summer flowers, and dependable performance in full sun to partial shade. This cultivar develops a strong central leader and a uniform pyramidal to oval canopy, typically reaching 40–50 feet tall and 30–35 feet wide, making it an excellent street or lawn tree.
In early to mid-summer, clusters of small, pale yellow, highly fragrant flowers appear beneath the foliage, attracting pollinators. Heart-shaped, dark green leaves create a dense canopy through the growing season. In fall, foliage turns clear yellow before dropping, adding seasonal interest. Small nutlets follow flowering but are generally inconspicuous.
Ideal for streetscapes, formal plantings, and large lawns, Tilia cordata ‘Greenspire’ offers strong structure, shade, and ornamental appeal in residential and commercial landscapes.
