American Sentry Linden
Tilia americana 'Sentry' is an American basswood with a narrow, dense columnar habit, selected for its uniform shape, straight trunk, and abundant foliage. Its large, heart-shaped, dark green leaves provide welcome shade in summer, then turn a light yellow to golden hue in the fall. Its discreet but fragrant summer blossoms attract bees and pollinators. Highly hardy and tolerant of pollution, de-icing salt, and urban conditions, it is perfect for alignments, boulevards, tall hedges, or municipal plantings. Its moderate growth and naturally straight and neat habit make it a reliable and structuring choice, suitable for large and medium-sized spaces.
