| | Tilia cordata |
 | | Tilia cordata 'Fairview' - a rapidly growing cultivar, to 60' tall by 25' wide, with foliage that is thicker and slightly larger than average |
 | | Tilia cordata 'Greenspire' - by far the most common cultivar, compact and with a long central leader, to 40' tall by 30' wide, narrowly pyramidal in youth but spreading with age, much more urban tolerant than other cultivars, and therefore the reason for its widespread usage as a street tree or specimen tree |
 | | Tilia cordata is known as a common shade or specimen tree, very symmetrical in shape, pyramidal to oval in outline, densely dark green and shiny-foliaged in Summer, but often overused as a street tree and prone to stress-induced leaf scorch, windthrow, and decline under difficult circumstances. |
