Description
The Redmond Linden (Tilia × flavescens ‘Redmond’) is a majestic, fast-growing deciduous tree prized for its strong pyramidal form, lush foliage, and fragrant summer blooms. Reaching heights of 50-70 feet with a broad 30-50 foot spread, it offers dense, heart-shaped green leaves that provide excellent shade.
In early to mid-summer, clusters of small, fragrant yellow flowers bloom, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies. The leaves turn golden-yellow in fall, creating a beautiful seasonal display. With smooth, gray bark and a well-structured canopy, it remains a striking feature in the landscape even during winter.
This low-maintenance and hardy tree thrives in various soil types, including clay and loamy soils, and is highly resistant to urban pollution and drought once established. Whether used as a shade tree, street tree, or specimen planting, the Redmond Linden adds beauty, shade, and structure to any landscape.
