View prices and availability
Large tree with a distinctly more slender crown than other linden species and cultivars. The tree grows to approx. 15 m tall and 6 m wide. The young twigs are red, mature bark is dark brown and grooved. The gracefully shaped, broad ovate leaves have a retuse base and a long pointed tip. Its margin is finely and sharply serrated. The top of the leaf is glossy dark green, the underside white felt-like and light brown on young leaves. In July the fragrant, cream-coloured flowers, 10 - 20 together, appear in approx. 8 cm long corymbs. They are followed by brown, felt-like hairy ovate fruits. This cultivar was first distributed in the USA under the synonym, ‘Continental Appeal’. A good avenue tree that can be used mainly in places where other lindens are too wide.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2024.
