Common name
Linden 'Harvest Gold'
Type
Ornamental tree
Family
Malvaceae

The Tilia mongolica ‘Harvest Gold’ is a deciduous ornamental linden with a pyramidal to oval shape, ideal for streets, parks, or large gardens. This vigorous tree, a cross with the small-leaved linden, is distinguished by its fragrant pale yellow summer blooms, much appreciated by bees, followed by dark green foliage that turns a bright golden yellow in autumn, offering a remarkable seasonal display. Very hardy (zone 3) and well-suited to urban conditions, it tolerates rich, well-drained, and slightly alkaline soils, as well as full sun to partial shade exposure. Its moderate growth and stable structure make it an excellent choice as a decorative and ecological shade tree.
