Here is a photo of my 10yr. old Tilia tomentosa, Silver Linden, it isabout 25 feet tall. I planted a Honeysucl;e vine at its base and it has grown almost to the top and is quite interesting to see it in bloom before the Tilia blooms. This is a view of the tree. DonnaS
aAnd here is a picture of the blooms, Starts blooming in July and lasts about a month, very lovely fragrance, and am glad I planted it about 20 or so feet from my bedroom. DonnaS
Nice tree, but watch that honeysuckle closely. It might overpower the tree. If it's too aggressive, cut it back every few years and make it start over.

StarhillForest, thanks for your interest and advice, so far the honeysuckle is behaving itself. It is very hot outside, 92, so I am not spending much time outside. DonnaS
