A slow-growing Swedish cultivar with a regular, closed, narrow, pyramidal crown that reaches a height of 15 - 18 m. The lateral branches grow steeply ascending at first and after about 10 years they bend, forming an ovoid crown. The leaves are round to ovoid with a tapered top and a slanted heart-shaped base. The leaf edge is sharply serrated. The upper side of the leaf is lighter green than those of the species and the leaves remain on the tree longer. This linden blooms more profusely than does the species with aromatic flowers. 'Örebro' is very similar to 'Delft'. Winter hardiness zone: 4
