Unearth the beauty of Europe in your own backyard with Tilia platyphyllos. Also known as Bigleaf Linden or Largeleaf Linden, it is a spectacular deciduous tree native to much of Europe but introduced in the US (especially New England) and globally as a versatile ornamental tree. It is widely appreciated for its large, heart-shaped, dark green leaves and charming, yellowish-white flowers in drooping clusters, creating a picturesque view throughout the seasons. The tree has an upright and rounded habit, and as its name indicates, has larger leaves than the related Tilia cordata. Its lime-rich flowers are not just beautiful but are traditionally used as a domestic remedy for colds and ailments where sweating is desirable. Well-suited to a range of light and heavy soils, as a shade tree or a lawn tree, Tilia platyphyllos offers much to the landscape, from beauty and shade to utility and ecological benefits. Whether you require it for urban areas, recreational forestry, or agroforestry, Largeleaf Linden is an excellent choice.
