Why plant Frontyard® American Linden?
Have you ever found yourself walking down the road, slowly becoming entranced by the most beautiful fragrance? There is a good chance you've fallen for the Frontyard® American Linden without even knowing what it was! Mature heights of 60-80’ tall and widths of 30-60’ make this a stunning shade tree to any landscape. The American Linden, in its younger years, sports a rather pyramidal growth habit that rounds out with maturity. Known for its heart shaped, dark green foliage, the Linden produces pale yellow clusters of delightfully fragrant blooms in early summer. Once the blooms have reached their end, small pea sized nutlets appear, gearing up to be an end of the season snack for small animals and birds!

The best time to fertilize your Frontyard® American Linden is in early spring, as the tree begins to break dormancy for the year! You should also fertilize in early fall, as your tree begins the fall transition - that way, it receives plenty of nutrients as it begins to go dormant for the year!

How Does Shipping Work?
Bower & Branch Trees, the real BIG trees, don’t fit in a box! Our big trees, sizes XL and bigger, require expert delivery and care, that means our extra-large trees are shipped on Bower & Branch trucks. We are the only ones who know how to ship our big and bigger trees and plants with tender loving care. We deliver your trees and plants directly to you. Ask Bower & Branch about planting services – we'd be happy to assist in installation.
*For Big trees and Shrubs, Size XL and bigger: Review our Seasonal Shipping Timelines and Policy here.
Your trees and plants are grown across the United States at various Bower & Branch Growers. Depending on your location, your plant orders may be shipped from various locations. Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.
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!
