Redmond has the
largest leaves of the Lindens and its dense foliage is glossy green with
bright yellow autumn color. The tree is pyramidal when young but
develops into a striking specimen with an upright, oval canopy atop a tall,
straight trunk. In June, the trees produce abundant, 2-3" wide
clusters of very fragrant, light yellow blooms.
