The Frontyard® Linden, Tilia americana 'Bailyard', is a great 'Frontyard' tree, selected because of its symmetrical branching and broadly pyramidal shape. It has an excellent symmetrical branching habit even as a young tree, and then gets nicely rounded with age. This Linden offers excellent shade with its dense foliage. It displays fragrant yellow flowers in summer with large, dark green foliage that turns yellow in the fall. It prefers moist, fertile, deep soils and tolerant of difficult, dry or heavy soils. It needs full sun, but will tolerate some shade. It is best used for farmstead windbreaks, and park trees in open landscape areas because of its large size and spreading root system.
