Boulevard Linden

$23.95

The Boulevard Linden, Tilia americana 'Boulevard', has a narrow pyramidal form with ascending branches. Large, dark green foliage combines beautifully with fragrant yellow flowers in early summer. This linden is an attractive specimen where height is needed but width is limited, such as boulevards. It is best used for farmstead windbreaks, and park trees in open landscape areas because of its large size and spreading root system. This deciduous tree requires full sun, will tolerate some shade, and needs well drained soil. It has a pyramidal shape when young, becoming rounded when mature. ... get more information

Mockernut Hickery The Mockernut Hickory tree, Carya tomentosa, is also called a White Hickory, Whiteheart Hickory, Hognut and Bullnut. The gray bark of this tree is marked with branching ridges and deep furrows. Mockernut hickory is so named because the nuts are large but with thick shells and very small kernels. The twigs are stout and reddish-brown to grayish-brown in color. This tree grows well on rich, moist, well-drained soils of upland areas. It is most common in the southern part of its range. As with the Shagbark Hickory, the wood of this tree is hard, strong, tough and elastic, and is used in handles for tools and in athletic equipment. It is long lived, sometimes reaching the age of 500 years. This and the other hickories are very desirable both for forest and shade trees.
