11730Q.English linden tree dying?
Our 100+ year old english linden tree has about 10% of the branches dying. In our 20 years living here we have never seen this many branches die. It has been lopsided the last two years with good leaf growth on half the tree and stunted leaf growth on the other. The dead branches are equally dispersed throughout the tree. Could it be diseased or dying?

Certified ExpertA.It sounds like either a borer problem or the tree roots on the barren side may be girdled. Either way, the best course of action is to call a certified arborist to diagnose it.

June 2, 2017Q.Linden Trees
We live in Penetanguishene, and are looking for a shade tree that will grow to 30 or forty feet over time. There is nothing in the immediate area for the site that would interfere with growth even higher than that. There is a 30 to 40 foot Linden tree not far from our house. We pass it on our daily walks and it is exactly what we are looking for. Question is - where would we find one? We checked with our local garden Gallery, and while they are familiar with the tree, they do not stock them. Thanks Ric May 705-549-0001 ricmay@rogers.com

June 6, 2017Q.Linden tree problem of messy lawn.
The city of Chatham provided home owners with replacement trees which we had to plant in the city right of way. We picked it out when there were no leaves and bare rooted. We were told it was a linden tree.and we have loved it as it matured into a beautiful shape. The last 3 years when the leafs sprout there also is a small leaf-like formation much smaller than the actual leaf about 2-3 inches long and about a 1/2 inch wide. These coincide with the dropping of the maple buds. However these do not appear to contain a seed pod inside the small leaf. Also, this heavy dropping process has been occurring for about three weeks and as in prior years will continue throughout the year till late fall frost. You cut your grass and the next day the grass is strewn with these 'willow shaped droppings and it looks really messy. Is this a feature of a Linden or were we provided with a tree that no gardener would likely choose for a front yard location.

Edmonton T6J 7G1 #3Q.Littleleaf Linden Tree
Hello: every springtime our Littleleaf Linden blossoms into what looks like a healthy tree, yet it always has so many small branches and twigs that are dry and brittle. I keep the tree looking healthy by cutting these off, but they return proportionally as much year after year, making it very difficult to now reach the top ones. What is the cause of this and what can I do to stop it from happening?

June 26, 2017A.This could be due to drought stress or more serious pests or disease.
You will need to do more inspection of the tree; it's leaves, branches and trunk.These links may help you.

You may also want to talk with your County Extension Office.
They may have information on specifics to your growing zone and other trees in your area.

south lyon, mi 48178Q.linden tree
I am having trouble with japanese beetles on my Linden tree. The tree is 7 feet tall but new this summer. Will this problem continue for its life? Maybe I should give up now and plant a more tolerant type? I live on a small horse farm and try to avoid insecticides. So far I have been keeping buckets of water around the tree which do capture some beetles but also I put a white sheet around the tree, a couple times a day, then shake the tree and kill whatever bugs fall on the sheet. This won"t work when the tree gets too big! Thank you for your help, Lori
