Littleleaf Linden

1997 Comments: Homeowners had to buy their own trees. Only a portion of the area was planted according to the city forester. Many of the trees planted were removed because of root and sidewalk conflicts. The plants remaining look to be in fairly good shape.

Forty percent of the overall planting survived (2 of 5 trees). The 1997 data in the table are based on two trees.
