Any arborists here?

[abnk]

I am looking for a tilia cordata. I have checked with the local nursuries to no avail. Does anyone know who might have them and if it is too late to plant one?

Thanks.

This is where I go to find rare plants. I searched their site and found 3 subcordatas, but not the tilia. You might give them a call if no one else can help. They might be able to steer you in the right direction.

I ordered a rare dogwood from them 3 years ago and had it shipped from NJ. Still doing fine in the front yard.

Check on ebay. There are seeds and extracts. As to planting, I can't comment.

Little leaf lindens are pretty common trees but not without their problems. They are "candy" to Japanese beetles and tend to attract bees when in bloom. Where are you located? BTW now is a great time to plant them if you can find a nursery that has some. The nurseries are starting to dig some trees for fall planting so they should become available.

Thanks, all. It should not be so rare as to order from out of state. If it comes down to that, I might as well get a pure one from Europe.

I knew it attracts bees and I view that as a positive thing. I don't know much about Japanese beetles.

I'm in Central IN, by the way.

Now is fine to plant, or better wait until it drops its leaves and goes dormant. Basswood or Linden honey is considered delicate and light and choice.

The native basswood, Tilia americana, is very common and should also do well for you if you are considering planting in a place you don't mind a full a sized tree.

Haha, I thought he was looking for a good abortionist. I was ready for the INGO **** storm to hit the fan.

Will the roots continue growing after the leaves fall?

Is Greenspire a cultivar or another name for tilia cordata?

 

[Brando]

'Greenspire' is a cultivar. Not the straight species that might be found in the wild. Better in many aspects. Very easy to grow, very drought tolerant, nice foliage and form.

 

[Brando]

Our tree farm loves growing 'Greenspire'. Minimal pruning needed and grows quick to produce a syllable tree.

 

[Brando]

Yeah the cultivar still carries over the same (if not more) flower qualities of the species. I've never tasted the flowers, but after reading up on it, i might next year!

This tree is the most popular variety of linden. It's basically all we sell other than a few 'Sterling Silver' Linden.

Tried PMing you back, post count not high enough.

Everytime I see the title of this thread I think it says "any abortionists here?".

Thanks. I didn't realize you couldn't PM. What is your nursery's name?
