Tilia kiusiana – ​Beautiful and virtually unknown small growing this Linden tree with a vase-shaped habit and exceptional exfoliating bark provides excellent year round interest. It doesn't look like the European Lindens with rounded leaves; rather, this “lime” displays smaller, narrower blades. Spring flowers are white puffs which are a draw to bees and butterflies. The mid to late season brings arrays of round seed pods set singly at the ends of longish stems emerging between and among leaves, a very attractive moment. Often, autumn brings beautiful golden tones to the leaves prior to leaf fall. The species hales from islands off the south coast of Japan. Our original plants were raised from a seed source. The trees we are presently offering are cutting grown, on their own wood and not grafted. Site in sun to part shade planted in fertile soil. Excellent specimen for a smaller property. Cutting grown.
