Description
American Sentry Linden is a striking deciduous tree known for its narrow, upright growth habit, making it an excellent choice for smaller yards and landscape designs. Its dense, columnar form is complemented by dark green, heart-shaped leaves that turn a brilliant gold in fall, providing seasonal interest. In early summer, subtle clusters of fragrant yellow flowers emerge beneath the branches, adding charm and appeal. This fast-growing and vigorous tree is also resistant to common insect issues, making it a low-maintenance option for your landscape.
Thriving in full sunlight, the American Sentry Linden adapts well to various soil types and moisture levels, ensuring success in diverse conditions. It matures to a stately height of 50 feet with a spread of 25 feet, ideal for creating shade or serving as a striking focal point. With a high canopy clearance of seven feet, it's well-suited for pathways and open spaces. As a selection of a native North American species, this resilient tree is tolerant of urban pollution and thrives in average landscape conditions.
Our trees are sold by height (younger trees) or by caliper (more mature trees), ensuring you find the perfect size for your landscape needs. This tree is available by trunk caliper, at 1.75 in. size, for a more mature, developed option.
