Tilia cordata 'Greenspire'
Choose Greenspire Linden if you want a dependable shade tree with a tidy pyramidal shape. The tradeoff is space: this is a real canopy tree, not a tight-yard tree.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | It gives a yard a clean, established shade-tree look without needing an unusual form. |
| Growth Rate | B+ | It grows at a useful pace, but it is still a long-term shade tree rather than an instant canopy. |
| Maintenance | B | Its natural structure is a plus, though young trees still benefit from proper pruning and room to develop. |
| 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 | D | This tree needs open space and is not a good fit near houses, wires, or narrow beds. |
| Screening Value | C+ | It can block views in season, but it is better used as a shade tree than as a privacy screen. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Greenspire Linden for open lawn or street-side sites where the customer wants shade, symmetry, and a long-term tree with fewer design surprises.

Yes, it produces fragrant yellow flowers in early summer that pollinators use.
Only if there is enough overhead and side room for a full shade canopy.
It has good deer resistance, though no tree should be treated as completely immune.

They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
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!
