Glenleven Linden
Product Description: Glenleven Linden
Fragrant Yellow Flowers in Summer
The Glenleven Linden, Tilia flavescens \’Glenleven’, is a hybrid between American and Little Leaf Linden. It is a fast growing tree with an extremely straight trunk and a pyramidal form (cone shaped).
Glenleven is a prolific bloomer, with its small fragrant flowers appearing in late June and into July. Many bees are attracted to the flowers, and the dried flowers persist on the tree for some time.
This tree has a faster growth rate than other Little Leaf Lindens with a more open canopy that casts a moderate shade. Then, Glenleven’s green foliage turns yellow in the fall.
The heart-shaped leaves are a cool dark green and the flowers are used for a soothing herbal tea, reported to have health benefits.
Lindens generally are very hardy trees, once established, and maintain their pyramidal shape easily without trimming. They are pollution tolerant and pH adaptable.
