#### The Linden genus (Tilia)

#### Finding out what Linden species you are dealing with.

- Leaf with on the bottom between veins minuscule white hairs and tree with small nuts (size about 5 mm) with clear ribs which you cannot crunch by hand: Bigleaf linden (Tilia platyphyllos). Tree upto 30 meters(2). In the winter and fall many nuts still on the tree.
- Leafs with "red-ish minuscule hairs between the veins: Littleleaf linden (Tilia cordata)(leaf underneath blue-ish-green, veins of the third order not indented (3)) or Common linden Tilia x vulgaris Tilia europaea (leaf underneath green, veins of the third order clearly indented(3) many planted)(cross between cordataxplatyphyllos). Nuts without clear ribs, crushable by hand. Upto 35 meters high. The difference between the common and Littleleaf linden is very hard to make in my opinion.
- Underside of the leafs whitish reflecting light: Silver linden.

Some books claim that the size of the Bigleaf linden is bigger than the Littleleaf linden (2) but the book I trust the most says explicitly that this is a sad mistake (3. It is also written that the number of nuts on the Bigleaf linden would be smaller per bundle: but the trees I saw did not abide that rule at all. Linden often have a sticky black substance on the leafs and beneath it as well: a sugar-liquid produced by aphids.

#### All species photographed.

#### Winter photo's of bark and buds, if available.

Photo's beneath are form several species that cannot be discerned in the winter. Only the Silver Linden can, because its buds are green, as opposed to red as the other species have them.
