Additional Information

The Crimean Linden is similar to the Littleleaf Linden, but with a more informal habit and slightly more pendulous branches with maturity. Often sold in grafted form, and these trees can have trouble with suckers from the rootstock. Never colorful, but a good shade tree that is well-adapted to most city conditions and relatively troublefree. Functions as a small tree for many years. Reportedly more resistant to aphids than other Tilia. Japanese beetles can feed heavily on foliage beginning in mid-summer.
