Large tree, slightly resembling T. americana, large ovoid to broad ovoid crown. The gracefully shaped, broad ovate leaves have a heart-shaped base that is sometimes crooked. The leaf tip tapers to a point. At a length of 15 to 22 cm, the leaf is conspicuously big. On emerging the leaf has a bronze tint. The mature leaf is glossy, dark green on top. It is lighter on the underside, with small tufts of light brown hair in the vein axils. In July the fragrant, cream-coloured flowers appear in pendent corymbs. They are followed by round fruits with felt-like hair. Van den Berk took it into culture as T. neglecta. This name turned out to be synonymous with T. americana whereas the tree was different. This is why we chose give the tree a new cultivar name: Tilia americana ‘Neglect’.
Tilia americana 'Neglect' môže dorastať do výšky 25 - 30 m v závislosti od podmienok stanovišťa a klímy.

Správny čas na výsadbu stromu je mimo vegetačné obdobie. V strednej Európe môže byť Tilia americana 'Neglect' so zemným balom vysadený od polovice novembra do konca apríla, avšak závisí to veľmi od klimatických podmienok a druhu stromu.
