Redmond Linden

The Redmond Linden (Tilia americana 'Redmond') is a cultivar of the American Linden tree, known for its attractive foliage and graceful form. It is a deciduous tree that typically reaches a height of 40 to 50 feet and spreads about 30 to 40 feet wide. The Redmond Linden has a pyramidal shape when young, gradually maturing into a more rounded crown with age. The leaves are large and heart-shaped, emerging a vibrant green in spring and turning a rich golden-yellow in the fall, adding a splash of color to the landscape. The tree also produces fragrant pale yellow flowers in early summer, which are attractive to pollinators. The Redmond Linden is known for its adaptability to various soil types and its tolerance of urban conditions. It prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. This cultivar is valued for its resistance to leaf spot and leaf miner infestations, making it a relatively low-maintenance tree. The Redmond Linden is often planted as a shade tree in parks, residential areas, and along streets, providing cool shade in the summer months and adding aesthetic value to the surroundings. Its attractive foliage, fragrant flowers, and overall beauty make it a popular choice for landscaping projects.
