Tilia euchlora is a species in the genus Tilia. Lindens are large deciduous trees native to much of the Northern Hemisphere. Their foliage is quite dense and makes excellent shade.
Linden (Tilia euchlora) - Blooming
Blooms small, cup-shaped fragrant creamy white to yellow flowers followed by dry, nut-like fruits. Attracts bees.
Linden (Tilia euchlora) - Growth

Caterpillars, lace bugs, aphids, mites, and Japanese beetles. Other issues include butt rot, powdery mildew, bacterial leaf spot, and anthracnose.
