American Linden (Small) (Tilia americana)
American Linden (Small) (Tilia americana)
American linden (Tilia americana) in a small form presents as a young or compact deciduous tree with a defined trunk and an emerging rounded canopy of broad leaves. The foliage consists of recognizable heart-shaped leaves with serrated edges, creating a textured and soft visual presence. Branching remains relatively contained, with upward and outward growth establishing the foundational structure of the mature canopy.
Native to North American deciduous forests, Tilia americana is adapted to fertile soils and moderate moisture conditions. The species is biologically significant for supporting pollinators through fragrant flowering and for its vigorous yet adaptable growth habit. In small form, the tree emphasizes developing structure, youthful canopy formation, and the characteristic foliage patterns that define mature basswood, while retaining its identity as an elegant and ecologically valuable deciduous tree.
American Linden (Small) has a typical cultivated height between 10’-20’ (3.05-6.1 m) and spread diameter of 6’-10’ (1.83-3.05 m). The leaves have a typical length between 3”-8” (8-20 cm).
