fragrant flower from this tree, id tree please
Comments (6)I don't think it's Tilia henryana. Typically the "spines" of the soft spine like teeth are much longer on T. henryana than the leaves in the photo. You can find T. americana(Basswood, American Linden) with leaves with small soft "spine" like teeth like the leaves in the photo. The leaves look too large for T. henryana, which top out at about 4"x4"(10cm x 10cm), to me also. They look much closer in size to T. americana, which range from 4"x4" on the small side up to 8"x8"(20cm x 20cm), to me. Also, T. henryana in cultivation has so far been a relatively small tree in the 30' to 35' range(roughly 10m). Lastly, I'm doubtful that T. henryana(considered zone 7 hardy usually) is hardy in the zone 5 Brookfield Zoo which has seen temps as low as -20°F(-29°C) within the past 12 years or so(surely within the lifetime of this tree). So, I believe this is a Basswood tree(T. americana)....See MoreCan you please ID this tree, flower?
Comments (6)In my opinion the leaves are a bit too big, as are the fruits/seeds making them less proportionate in a smaller container. However they are hardy enough that perhaps by stunting it, I can see the possibility where you may achieve the bonsai look....See MorePlease help IDing this flowering tree
Comments (1)The photo didn't post. You can edit your original post for a short time after the original post or add it to a follow-up comment down below. If you are still having issues, here are some work-arounds: Sometimes with a slow connection with a slower upload speed, it can take minutes to upload a photo, but you will see it appear in the typing box before you click Submit if you've been successful. Sometimes you want to try a different browser since GW doesn't work well with all versions of Explorer. Some folks find that if they upload to Houzz photo (Go to Your Houzz in the upper right of every page and click on upload photos or files) they can then use the Houzz Photo option to put it in a thread. If you don't have a photo, it's harder to ID, but adding flower color and shape (bean flower, daisy, etc) along with other details such as leaf shape, tree general height and width, and whether the leaves are opposite each other on the branches or they alternate from side to side would help....See MorePlease ID Flowering Tree Bush - Zone 8
Comments (3)If the location is western North American USDA Zone 8 then P. lewisii is likely. (Posting where plants are being seen is always a good idea)....See Moredirtygardener
