Tilia cordata 'Winter Orange' (ex: Louis Raymond) - The Orange-twigged Linden is a winter winner. Exceptional bright orange twigs can color to fire engine red, these sporting candy pink leaf buds, all glowing like fire in the soft winter light. Rounded leaves are attractive in the growing season. Mid-summer white flowers are very sweetly fragrant and beloved by bees. Ten years in the ground and your Linden will attain 15 to 20 feet tall and wide. If left on its own the is a tree that will achieve 60 feet in height, not as wide. But it really is best used when as a hedged screen, a pollard, an espalier or any application which calls for serious pruning; the reason is that the best-colored, the most intense brightly-colored stems is on newer, younger and, indeed, first-year growth. The species hails from Europe and Russia but the Orange-twigged Linden, a remarkable form of Littleleaf Linden originated with the Dutch. Fertile, draining soil in full sun. Established potted Linden from cutting.
