A good selection from T. europaea with a straight, vertical stem and upwards-slanting branches. Has a vigorous manner of growth, developing a crown that first has a tapered top but that later becomes more flattened. The bark remains thin for a long time, and later develops deep grooves. There are few to no root suckers growing around the trunk. At first, the twigs are yellowish brown but they soon turn brownish red. This is a key way to recognise this tree. The leaf buds are also brownish red. The leaves are light green with a yellowish green underside and have a broad, slightly heart-shaped base and a red leaf stem. 'Pallida' leafs out in the spring earlier than the species and is susceptible for aphid infestation with honey dew and sooty mould as a result. Its leaves drop earlier in autumn. This makes it suitable for planting only in parks and avenues with broad verges. Sensitive to leaf spot disease.
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.
Tilia ×europaea 'Pallida' can eventually reach a height of 20 - 30 (35) m, fast growing, depending on the site and climate conditions.

The right time to plant Tilia ×europaea 'Pallida' is during the dormancy period. In Western Europe, Tilia ×europaea 'Pallida' with root balls can generally be planted from mid-November to late April, although this depends strongly on the climatic conditions and the species of tree.
