In order to understand which trees are commonly used in the design world, Andrea Cochran's work seems like an appropriate place to start. Above, you can see her work for the Ackley residence, with Tilia cordata 'Green Spire' in an allee.
These trees are known for being tidy and low maintenance, making it appropriate near paving, decks and pools. They also have subtle clusters of fragrant yellow flowers, which is great when you want an understated tree. And, it has the seasonal variation to bring magic to the garden.
In addition, it is a moderate grower, and is relatively pest free. For these reasons, this tree may be my new go-to! And, with its medium-texture leaves, it would look great in a palette with fine foliaged plants.
