The Glenleven Linden Tree (Tilia flavescens 'Glenleven') is a hybrid between the American Linden and Little Leaf Linden! It is a fast-growing tree with an extremely straight trunk and a pyramidal form with strong spreading limbs and dense heart-shaped dark green foliage!

The Glenleven is a prolific bloomer, with its small fragrant flowers appearing in late June and lasting well into July. Many bees are attracted to the flowers, and the dried flowers and their light green leaf-like bracts persist on the tree for some time! Homesteaders adore having Lindens on their properties as the bees go crazy for the flowers and make loads of Basswood honey!

This tree has a faster growth rate than other Little Leaf Lindens with a more open canopy that casts great shade before Glenleven's green foliage turns lemony yellow in the fall. Hardy throughout USDA planting zones 4 to 7, this hybrid Linden grows 40 - 50 feet in height and spreads to a modest 25 - 35 feet wide.

Planting and Application:

Elegant and stately, Glenleven is a gorgeous street and lawn specimen, growing as well in urban conditions and smaller city lots. Casting lush shade without lots of mess, these trees handle pollution and a wide range of conditions, making Linden a prized shade tree for smaller properties!

A tremendously valuable tree for its many usages, the Glenleven Linden would look terrific in your front or side yard. Reduce cooling costs by situating your tree on the southwestern side of your home, or over your seating areas, casting lush shade over your backyard spaces.

  • Heart-Shaped Dark Green Leaves
  • Yellow Blossoms With Green Leaf-Shaped Wings
  • Fragrant & Very Attractive To Pollinators
  • Sturdy Limbs & Smaller Pyramidal Canopy
  • Shade & Street Trees, Specimens & Urban Environments

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Pollution tolerant and pH adaptable, Linden Trees grow best in full sun, at least 6 hours of sun a day. Linden tolerates all kinds of soils, including clay as long as it is well-drained. New trees need regular moisture their first year or so in the ground and become very drought tolerant once established. Provide a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch around the loot system to protect them from heat and cold, and protect the trunk from mower damage. Prune if needed in the late winter or early spring.

  • Full Sun Deciduous Trees
  • Well-Drained Soil - Tolerates Clay
  • Moderate to Low Moisture Needs
  • Prune When Dormant
  • Appreciates Mulched Beds

Smaller and highly adaptable, the Glenleven Hybrid Linden Tree will shade your world and boost curb appeal without taking up too much space! Order now at Nature Hills!
