Tilia mongolica, also known as Mongolian Linden or Mongolian Lime, is a charming, medium-sized deciduous tree, perfect for ornamental use. As the smallest member of the Linden family (Malvaceae), it reaches about 30 feet in height and 25 feet in width, featuring a distinctive pyramidal to rounded shape. Its unique exfoliating bark, along with its smaller three to five-lobed leaves, sets it apart. Although it grows slower than other lindens, its mesmerizing creamy-yellow, fragrant flowers bloom in summer, attracting butterflies and other pollinators.

Native to North China and far Eastern Russia, the Mongolian Linden thrives best in full sun or partial shade with alkaline, loamy, well-drained soils. However, it's less tolerant to drought and salt-spray compared to its relatives. Notably, it transplants well, is hardy to Zones 3 to 5, and is suitable for various sites including residential areas, parks, and city streets.

This tree's soft, creamy wood is favored by woodcarvers, while its young leaves and shoots are edible. It enriches its surroundings while the flowers can be dried for tea. Though commercially rare, particularly its 'Harvest Gold' cultivar, it remains a valued addition wherever planted.
