Tilia tomentosa 'Doornik' – Tilia tomentosa 'Doornik'

View prices and availability
An old Belgian cultivar with a broad, ovoid crown that is not as tight as that of 'Brabant'. 'Doornik' has a good, straight main branch on which upwards-slanting branches grow. Height approx. 25 m, width approx. 15 m. The smooth trunk is dark grey: young twigs are greenish grey and felt-like. The leaves are more or less round, dark matt green with a remarkably thick white felty underside. In the autumn they turn light yellow and stay on the tree for a long time. In July, pendulous umbels of strongly aromatic flowers appear. 'Doornik' is used often as a city tree thanks to its uniform manner of growth. Fairly unsusceptible to aphids. Winter hardiness zone: 6a
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2025.
