Tilia cordata is a medium to large deciduous tree known for its dense, symmetrical, pyramidal to upright-oval habit. It features heart-shaped, dark green leaves that turn a soft yellow in autumn. In early summer, it produces clusters of fragrant, creamy-yellow flowers that are highly attractive to bees. This hardy species is exceptionally tolerant of urban conditions, including pollution and poor soil, making it a popular choice for street plantings, shade, and formal avenues.
