While the Linden is young , you could start a pollard. Pollarding to
control tree size is an ancient art form. It is not topping where targets
are ignored.
Linden lends itself to pollarding.
If I had room, which I might, I would place a pollard on my property.

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

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.
