Tilia tomentosa, commonly called silver linden or European white linden, is native to Europe and Asia, but can be found in a beautiful cluster on the Medford Campus by Parking Lot B. This tree is noted for its attractive foliage, which is glossy green above and on the reverse side silvery-white. The foliage flutters in the slightest breeze, showcasing the silver and green leaf colors. This tree typically grows to 50-70′ tall with upright branching and a broad-columnar habit. Fragrant pale-yellow flowers in groups appear in late June or early July.
