Silver Linden
This tree is extremely popular in Europe and England due to its neat, pyramidal form and large, deep-green leaves with silvery undersides, which put on a magnificent display in the wind. Silver linden also produces fragrant yellow flowers in the spring. It is a relatively disease-free tree that grows medium fast and can live to 70 years of age.
