Tilia platyphylus
Broad Lead Lime

Description

Features:
✓ Lush, heart-shaped foliage
✓ Clusters of flowers in spring
✓ Small round fruits in autumn
✓ Native
✓ Non-suckering
✓ Great for creating avenues or as large trees in parkland

The large or broad leaved Lime is the rarest of our Limes, Native, large and a handsome tree. Unlike the small-leaved Lime, this large-leaved Lime does not produce sucker growth from the base, making it a more attractive specimen for avenue and park planting. It has lush, green heart-shaped leaves and green-yellow flowers in clusters in spring. In autumn pollinated flowers turn to small, oval fruits.
