Why Plant Crimean Linden?
Crimean Linden is the kind of shade tree that makes everything around it look more put together. The foliage is notably glossy and deep green, giving the canopy a polished, almost “freshly waxed” look through summer. Then, when it blooms, you get pale yellow flowers with a sweet fragrance that drifts through the yard and pulls in pollinators like it’s hosting the best party on the block.
It’s a strong choice for streetscapes and classic landscapes because it grows into a dense, attractive canopy with a reliable shape, offering comfort shade and long-term structure. If you want a mature shade tree that feels traditional, fragrant, and quietly luxurious, this one checks all the boxes.
How to use Crimean Linden in the landscape?
Use it as a specimen shade tree in an open lawn where the canopy can develop into a full, cooling crown and create a comfortable gathering spot beneath it. It’s also excellent along streets and driveways, planted in repeating rows to create that timeless tree-lined look and consistent shade. In larger foundation landscapes, place it to anchor the yard visually and provide afternoon shade to outdoor living areas. Keep the planting beneath it simple and low so the glossy foliage and branching structure remain the focus, and allow generous spacing so the canopy can mature without crowding buildings or hardscape.

Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
