Tilia amurensis prefers a medium moisture level and fertile, well drained, loamy soil.

Its life span is generally around 50 years, with many going on to live much longer in situations where they are maintained well and kept free of disease.

[citation needed] Tilia amurensis can grow up to 32 meters tall with a dark bark color.

The leaves tend to measure between 4-8 x 4–7 cm and are orbicular alongside a long skinny tip with a cordata base.

The lower base of the leaves are pale green with a loose stellate indumentum and strong tufts with red hair under the vein axils.
