Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This Japanese linden produces long pendulous clusters of tiny cream-colored fragrant and nectar-sweet flowers in mid-summer. Flowers become tiny fruits which hang on thread-like stems. This 40-70' tree has beautiful dark-green leaves with toothed edges which are covered with soft-grey down on the bottoms. It is often planted by beekeepers for its honey potential. S/M
