Redmond American Linden
Redmond American Linden
Tilia americana 'Redmond'
'Redmond' Linden is a fast-growing and; long-lived tree, with symmetrical branches that form a rounded crown and create dense shade. Diverse pollinators feed on its nectar and pollen, and the leaves are an important food source for caterpillars of at least 100 butterfly and moth species. Warblers and other songbirds feed on the caterpillars and other insects in the foliage and bark; birds and small mammals make their nests in the Linden's nooks. If you are wanting to see some thriving wildlife from your window, the Linden would make a great addition to your yard.
