Tilia x euchlora, or crimean linden, is highly tolerant of urban conditions and produces flowers with rich, sugary nectar that attracts bees and butterflies. It prefers moist, fertile, well-drained loams, but adapts to a range of soil conditions. The tree generally experiences few serious insect or disease issues, showing greater resistance to aphids, than other lindens, which reduces the likelihood of honeydew drop and sooty molds. While verticillium wilt can be fatal, it occurs infrequently. Tilia x euchlora drops a significant number of leaves and small, fragrant flowers, with the heaviest shedding in the summer.
