Why Did My Linden Tree Not Bloom?

Question

Our Linden Tree is 24 years old and vigorous. But this year it decided not to bloom?!?!?!

Answer 1

It could be that the soil has been depleted of potassium and phosphorus. Both of these will be critical for flowering. This can happen due to a couple of different things. This could be a natural pH shift more to the acidic side, which would make it just a little harder for the tree to take up phosphorus and potassium. Or it could be actual soil deficiency of the two, and a little more nitrogen than should be for flowering. Fortunately, both can be tested.
