Introduction:

The Littleleaf Linden Tree (Tilia cordata) is a fast-growing deciduous tree known for its attractive heart-shaped leaves, fragrant yellow flowers, and dense canopy. This versatile tree is often planted for its beauty, shade, and pollinator-attracting qualities. The Littleleaf Linden is a perfect addition to parks, large landscapes, or as a street tree, providing shade and ornamental interest throughout the growing season. Its small, fragrant flowers in late spring make it particularly attractive to bees and other pollinators.

Plant Summary:

• Size: Grows to a height of 40-60 feet with a spread of 30-50 feet.
• Foliage: Heart-shaped, dark green leaves that turn yellow in the fall.
• Flowers/Fruit: Fragrant, pale yellow flowers in late spring to early summer, followed by small, round nutlets.
• Growth Habit: Upright with a dense, rounded crown.
• Sunlight: Prefers full sun to partial shade.
• Soil: Thrives in moist, well-drained soils but tolerates a variety of soil types.
• Hardiness: Hardy in USDA Zones 3-7.
• pH Level: Prefers slightly acidic to neutral soils (pH 5.5 to 7.5).
• Pruning: Prune in late winter to remove dead or damaged branches and to shape the tree.
• Pests/Diseases: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally be affected by aphids and Japanese beetles.

Pollination:

The Littleleaf Linden Tree is pollinated by bees, which are attracted to its fragrant, pale yellow flowers. These flowers bloom in late spring to early summer, providing an important nectar source for pollinators.

Planting Tips:

Plant your Littleleaf Linden Tree in early spring or fall in a sunny location with well-drained soil.

Water thoroughly after planting and mulch around the base to retain moisture and reduce competition from weeds. Regular watering during the first few years will help establish a strong root system.

Fertilization

It is generally recommended to wait to fertilize a bare root plant until it has been established in the ground and is actively growing. This can vary depending on the type of plant and the growing conditions, but it is generally best to wait at least a few weeks to a few months after planting.

During the first year, you should focus on providing the plant with the right amount of water, sunlight and soil to help it become established. Once the plant has become established and is actively growing, you can begin to fertilize it.

You can use a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer or one that is specifically formulated for the type of plant you have. Be sure to follow the instructions on the fertilizer package and apply it at the recommended rate.

It is also important to note that over-fertilizing can be harmful to plants, so it's always best to error on the side of caution and start with a lower amount of fertilizer and increase as needed.
