It might make a difference Lee Anne, but can't be said for sure, Tilia x euchlora is said to be hardy to zone 3 where the other two are zone 4 so it might have been a better choice.

a hybrid developed in the 19th century, parentage is undecided; it is believed to be T. cordata and T. clasystyia
hardy to zone 3


It's been around a long time!

No problem Kent, it's all educational. I can see the problems. I have a feeling the angle of the photos showing the leaves may be giving a false impression of the shape of the base.

Lee Anne, I guess it's up to you, if you can get photos of flowers next year then do. If you are pulling at the leash to put it in the gallery, you could move it if flowers do prove it to be different.

Flowers of..

Tilia x euchlora: yellowish white flowers in cymes of 3 to 7 flowers

'Cyme' does fit the structure of the fruits .. and they look to have 3 to 7.

It's in Ontario ..

Tilia cordata: small, individual flowers in loose drooping clusters, flower clusters with a leaf-like bract, light yellow or creamy flower color

There is a photo of flowers of cordata, they look to be in more or less level clusters ..

Also in Ontario .. leaves look a little more rounded, but that might vary, but the flower structure doesn't look much different on this site.

The decision is yours Lee Anne! Hilarious!
