The Sterling Silver Linden is a vigorous deciduous tree prized for its neat, symmetrical, and broadly pyramidal habit. Its most distinctive feature is the striking two-toned foliage, featuring dark green leaves with shimmering silvery-white undersides that sparkle in the breeze. In early summer, it produces clusters of fragrant, creamy yellow flowers. Highly resistant to Japanese beetles and heat, this durable tree thrives in full sun and is an ideal choice for urban streetscapes or large lawns.
