Littleleaf Linden
The Littleleaf Linden is a beautiful, highly ornamental tree that adds appeal to any outdoor space, growing with a strong central leader, dense branching, and a trunk that develops substantial girth over time. As its name suggests, its leaves are smaller than those of other linden species, heart shaped and dark green, and in early summer the tree bursts into bloom with clusters of exceptionally fragrant yellow flowers. These nectar-rich flowers attract hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies, and the species also produces a distinctive leaf-like structure called a bract, which evolved to protect the flowers and the small nutlets that develop and ripen in late summer.

You will often see flowers and leaves at the very beginning of May if not the end of April. After a long winter they are a true delight for both gardeners and hungry honey bees. They produce very small cherries that are readily eaten by birds. They are a very hardy tree and require little maintenance. At maturity they can grow to 10m tall, but we know of a specimen or two down on river side that would put that measurement to the test.
