Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This wonderfully compact and rare dwarf tree grows to only 6-9' tall by 4-6' wide. This variety has diminutive, light-green, heart-shaped, 1 ½ inch leaves on closely spaced dense branches which turn to a lovely butter-yellow in autumn. In summer, deliciously fragrant, small, soft-yellow flower racemes hang down (much to the delight of the bees). This pretty Linden is the perfect choice for a focal point, accent or kept in a large pot. S-PSh/M
