Linden, Redmond

The Redmond linden (Tilia americana 'Redmond') is a deciduous tree that is commonly used as a shade tree and as an ornamental tree in landscapes. It is a cultivar of the American linden and can grow up to 50 to 70 feet (15 to 21 meters) tall and 30 to 40 feet (9 to 12 meters) wide.

The tree has a pyramidal shape when young, but develops a more rounded canopy as it matures. It produces fragrant, pale yellow flowers in early summer that are arranged in clusters and attract bees and other pollinators. The flowers are followed by small, woody fruits that are not showy. The foliage is dark green and glossy, turning yellow in the fall before dropping.

The Redmond linden is named for its attractive reddish-brown bark that peels to reveal a lighter, smoother bark beneath. This gives the tree a unique and striking appearance.

It's important to note that the size of the tree can be influenced by various factors such as soil conditions, climate, and pruning practices. So, the actual height and spread of the Redmond linden may vary depending on the specific conditions in which it is grown
