Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.

We were just in Austria and enjoyed the manuy fragrant linden blossoms in
early June.

Is this your basic "European Linden" so called?

We are interested in planting one in Seattle. Would it be a good fit?

Any special cautions about soils?

Thanks in advance for your help.
