Littleleaf Linden 'Greenspire'
FamilyMalvaceae
Tilia cordata ‘Greenspire’ is a small-leaved linden with a slender and regular habit, widely appreciated for its harmonious vertical silhouette that elegantly structures avenues, borders, or contemporary gardens without encroaching on space. Its soft, dense green foliage creates a luminous texture throughout the season, offering soft, filtered shade under the canopy, while its fragrant, nectar-rich summer blossoms attract pollinators and bees, enriching local biodiversity. In autumn, the foliage can take on subtle golden hues, adding seasonal interest. Very hardy and adaptable to a variety of well-drained soils, this linden combines architectural elegance, ease of maintenance, and ecological service, ideal as a specimen tree, for alignments, or as a vertical structuring element in Quebec landscapes.
