The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Corinthian Linden
Corinthian Linden
Low stock: 8 left
Tilia cordata 'Corinthian'
Choose Corinthian Linden when you want a durable shade tree with a tight, formal outline for a driveway, screen, or narrow yard. The tradeoff: it gives structure and height, not the broad canopy of a full shade tree.
Buy This If
- You need upright structure.
- You want linden toughness.
- You have limited width.
Skip This If
- You want broad lawn shade.
- Your site stays wet.
- You dislike formal shapes.
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | It gives strong vertical structure and a clean formal look, but it is not the tree for a wide, spreading canopy. |
| Growth Rate | A- | It develops at a fast enough pace for screening and structure without feeling like a short-lived, brittle tree. |
| Maintenance | B | Its upright form reduces major shaping needs, but lindens can still drop flowers, leaves, and occasional sticky residue from insects. |
| Deer Resistance | C- | Deer readily browse and rub young trees like this, so protect it while it establishes where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | A | The narrow habit is the main reason to buy it for tighter New England properties. |
| Screening Value | B+ | It works well for tall, ordered screening, but it will not provide the dense year-round cover of an evergreen. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Corinthian Linden when a customer wants a real shade tree feel but does not have the width for a broad maple, oak, or full-sized linden.

Customers Usually Ask
Will it work along a driveway?
Yes, that is one of its better uses if you allow room for roots and future canopy clearance.
Does it flower?
Yes, it has fragrant early-summer flowers that pollinators use.
Is it messy?
Expect normal leaf and flower drop, and avoid parking beneath it if sticky insect residue would bother you.
Why buy for fall color
- See the actual color before you buy it
- Foliage, berries and late bloom — all three seasons of interest
- Fall planting means roots established before winter
