Monto Little Leaf Linden

Tilia cordata 'Monto'

NULL

One of a series of dwarf lindens, 'Monto' is the second smallest of the five dwarfs we have evaluated (Komsta Minima being the smallest). Dense, low branched with an intricate network of closely spaced branches and tiny branchlets. Remarkably easy to prune, lending itself to a bonsai look with little or no training. Makes a generally rounded outline and thick trunked small tree.

The medium to dark green leaves are the typical hear shape but greatly reduced in size to the point of being miniature, rarely will exceed 1.5". Fall color is a decent, but not brilliant, yellow. The pale yellow flower is likewise smaller, borne in pendulous racemes, fragrant. The bark is a light yellow-brown, subtle but quite pleasing in winter.
