Tilia tomentosa 'Sisi'

View prices and availability

Sturdy tree with a heavy straight trunk. In young trees, the trunk grows dead straight to the top with a stiff upright branching. Later, several straight upright trunk branches develop, widening the tree. Young twigs are greenish-grey and felty-haired but soon become bare and green. The leaves are more or less round, matt dark green with a distinctive dense white-felty underside. The leaf tip is short pointed, the base heart-shaped. The leaf edge is sharply serrated. In autumn, the leaf turns yellow. It stays on the tree for a long time. Hanging corymbs of strongly scented flowers appear in July. The short-stalked bract is about 5 cm long. T. tomentosa was widely used as an urban tree, but nowadays there are several cultivars with a more regular growth habit. Is fairly insensitive to aphids because of its felty leaves.

Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2024.
