Although called "bigleaf", the size of its leaves are only marginally larger than other lindens called "littleleaf". The bark is sandy brown to brown and is ridged and furrowed; the young twigs are red-brown and hairy, one of this species' distinguishing features. The dark green leaves are wide ovals that taper to a point. Glossy, the leaf edges are lined in tiny teeth.
