Lindens are very popular trees and are recognizable in the landscape by their pyramidal shape. They tolerate most urban conditions and heavy pruning, making them a prime option for street/park trees or hedges. Well suited for drought conditions; preference however is to full sun in well-drained, loamy soils. Harvest Gold® has heart-shaped, glossy dark green leaves throughout the growing season before turning vivid shades of yellow in autumn. In summer, small, fragrant pale yellow flowers appear and by autumn turn into attractive nutlets. Harvest Gold® is a cross between little-leaf linden and Mongolian linden that is supposed to be mostly Japanese beetle resistant. It also has high resistance to leaf spot and sun scald.
