Zone 5-Milwaukee, WIQ.Greenspire Little Leaf Linden
Our home has the above tree (to the best of our knowledge). Could you please tell me: 1) How long does it take to "mature"? 2) What is the mature size? 3) Is there any time of year in Zone 5 where low hanging branches could be pruned, so as not to have a person hit in the face when using a riding lawn mower? Thank you.

June 12, 2015A.The Little Leaf Linden grows at a medium rate at 13" to 24" a year.
It is best to prune a deciduous tree in it's dormant period.
This causes less stress on a tree.

46711Q.Linden tree in distress
My Linden tree was planted last October. The leaves came on great and dense this spring, but now at the end of May the leaves closest to the trunk are turning yellow, their autumn color, and falling off. Is this normal? Does it need water or fertilizer? We had a wet April/early May, but it has not rained for 10 days or so. There is mulch around the base. It gets plenty of sun.

May 29, 2016A.Linden trees need moisture, with good drainage. And mulch. Because it's a fairly young tree, it also would appreciate some fertilizer. This article may help you:

June 9, 2016Q.Linden tree
I have a Linden tree. It has buds on it, but they don't seem to be opening up. The buds are on the tree and some are open a little and some are not open at all. It seems stagnant.

June 10, 2016A.The long harsh winter has caused some slow down of trees and gardens across much of the United States this spring.
Being in MN myself I have also had delay's in some on my trees.
Our temperatures have been on the relatively cool side with some inconsistency in evening temperatures.
If the leaves and tree itself looks healthy, I would just give it more time.
It very well may just not preform as well this season due to all of the weather stresses.
You can fertilize if it continues to struggle.

Kennewick, WA 99336Q.Unique Linden Tree roots
Is the Unique Linden Tree one that roots should not be covered if they grow up through the soil? Or can I add more soil and plant flowers or ground cover above the roots?

Certified ExpertA.Something is probably interupting the flow of the tree's vascular system. It could be borers or another pest. Japanese beetles also really like to eat linden leaves. You should call a certified arborist to diagnose this problem.
