Boulevard Linden
(Tilia americana)
The Boulevard cultivar of linden has highly aromatic flowers that bloom in early summer, attracting pollinators from far and wide. It benefits from structural pruning when young to develop good form. This cultivar has been bred to have a more compact, upright form. It makes a good focal point in your landscape and, once mature, is lots of fun for kids (and adults) to climb!
