Looking for a stunning, fast-growing tree that thrives in northeast Asia? Look no further than Tilia mandshurica, also known as Manchurian Linden. This large tree can reach up to 20 meters in height with brown, fuzzy branches and clusters of 7-10 delicate flowers. The rounded fruit is unique and adds interest to any landscape.

This gorgeous tree is native to northeast Asia and is perfect for anyone looking to add an exotic flair to their landscape.
