Tilia americana var. caroliniana and T. americana var. heterophylla both occur in Florida. Their cultural requirements and appearance are similar. Shade tree for mid-moisture sites.

Even small plants can have large tap roots that run deep, but are easily transplanted. Endemic to Florida. Small specimen plant or groundcover.

The range of this species covers much of North America, especially the midwest and mid-to-north Atlantic states and extends into southern Canada.  Florida is the southern limit, and locations documented by herbarium specimens are scattered.  Warm winter termperatures likely interfere with reproduction, and at least one of the southern herbarium specimens appears to be at a location where it could have been deposited by a bird.  Once established, this plant should be an attractive bloomer. Specimen tree.

Specimen or shade tree.

This is one of the few pines that grows naturally in shade. Shade tree. Forest tree.

It's called "white mangrove" because it exudes extra salt through special glands which makes the leaves appear white.

Useful in coastal sites both for screening, windbreak, and as a plant useful to coastal stabilization. Plant slightly upslope of red and black mangroves.
