A large deciduous tree that can reach 30'-50', Littleleaf Linden creates a dense pyramid that can be used as a screen. It blooms white fragrant flowers. It does well in urban settings. Its cultivars are budded onto the understocks of the seedlings. Should the native soil be of a clay-like nature, then plant the tree high so as to allow for drainage. They combine well with bulbs, azaleas, Japanese holly, and Burkwood viburnum.

Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball just above ground level. 3. Mix soil with 25% amendment and %75 soil. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build basin and water.
