Tilia amurensis (Amur Linden)

The Amur Linden is a medium-sized shade tree that may reach a height of 50 to 75 feet. It's a Korean and Russian native. In June, its fragrant white blooms appear. Butterflies, bees, and birds flock to the Amur Linden. On the vein axils of young leaves, there is some pubescence. In late spring to early summer, fragrant pale yellow flowers in 3-20 flowered pendulous cymes bloom (June). Late in the summer, the flowers give way to ovoid-globose nutlets. Nutlets are connected to bract-like wings that are thin. The fall colour ranges from a bland pale green to a pale yellow.
