Below, we’ll focus on Tilia cordata’Rancho’. When young, the tree forms a narrow, conical crown. Later, the crown becomes egg-shaped but remains relatively narrow. The tree remains somewhat smaller than cultivars such as ‘Greenspire’ and ‘Bohlje’. Under good growing conditions, this cultivar remains free of aphids, making the tree suitable for planting along (narrow) streets.
Strongly scented yellowish-white flowers appear in June and July. Later, round, thin-walled fruits appear on a stalked wing. The relatively small leaves are heart-shaped with an asymmetrical base and a serrated edge. The somewhat glossy foliage is quite ornamental.
The tree was selected in 1961 by Scanlon Nurseries (Ohio) in the United States. It was introduced to the Dutch market by the Royal Aphons van der Bom Nurseries in Oudenbosch.
