TILIA CORDATA Littleleaf Linden

Liberty at Elm, Cincinnati

Planted: 1962

Site: 5' Square in Sidewalk

1971 Comments: The trees in this site are inconsistent in size and shape. They are growing well despite the heavy air pollution and the limited planting space in the sidewalk. There are power lines overhead and the trees may become large enough to interfere with them in the near future.
