Tilia cordata 'Savaria' Tilia cordata 'Savaria'

Healthy tree with a uniform crown to approx. 20 m tall and 10 m spread. Initially has a pyramidal crown with a continuous trunk and ascending branching. Later the crown spreads becoming oval to ovoid. The young twigs are green with reddish brown, mature bark is dark brown and grooved. The leaf is virtually round with a heart-shaped base and abruptly pointed tip. It is dark green and strikingly thick and robust. Fragrant flowers appear in early summer, growing in short corymbs. Fairly small fruits follow in late summer. First they are covered with grey felt-like hairs, later bare. Closely resembles ‘Greenspire’ but with thicker and firmer leaf. This makes ‘Savaria’ less susceptible to aphid and other infestations.
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.
