I do like Lindens. Didn't want to deal with the pods but i really like that compact shape and smaller leaves. Most of them make that oval shape as well. You see them in parks around here and they do pretty well out here.

If I ever decide to take my maple out (because Maples just bore the hell out of me) I'll probably replace it with a Linden in the side yard out front.

I'm jealous maples won't run out here because we have high pH. The calcium carbonate ties up iron and they get chlorotic really bad. And yet mother****ers still chose to plant them. One in my GD yard. I want to **** punt whomever did that.
