A very old hybrid between T. cordata and T. platyphyllos. Although this tree originated in cultivation, it can also appear spontaneously in the wild. The Dutch linden is a tree with a somewhat variable, broad, pyramidal crown. A few very heavy main branches grow from the heavy trunk and on those irregular lateral branches grow. The bark remains thin for a long time, and later develops deep grooves. Root suckers often grow around the trunk. The large leaves have a short, tapered top and serrated edge. The base of the leaf is usually somewhat slanted. The flowers grow in pendulous umbels of 3 to11 together. The bract has a short stem and is 9 - 10 cm long. Because there are many good cultivars, the species itself is rarely used anymore. Prone to aphid infestation, resulting in honeydew and sooty mould. Suitable as a shaped tree. Tilia x europaea was much used in earlier times to provide shade on farms. Because Tilia takes pruning exceptionally well, it is also often pruned to create a trained tree.
Tilia ×europaea môže dorastať do výšky 30 - 40 m v závislosti od podmienok stanovišťa a klímy.

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