Family Malvaceae

Tilia cordata ‘Corinthian’ is a small-leaved linden tree with an elegant and narrow habit, selected for its refined vertical silhouette that integrates perfectly into urban spaces, avenues, or contemporary gardens where ground space is limited. Its bright green, dense, and finely cut foliage creates a light and textured effect throughout the growing season, while its fragrant, nectar-rich summer blossoms attract bees and pollinators, thus enriching local biodiversity. In autumn, the leaves sometimes take on subtle golden hues, adding a delicate seasonal touch before they fall. Very hardy and adaptable to various well-drained soils, this linden offers gentle shade, an architectural presence, and minimal maintenance, making it a preferred choice for linear structures, isolated plantings, or demanding landscape compositions in Quebec.
