Tilia cordata
Tilia cordata, commonly known as the Small Leaved Lime, is grown for its lush foliage and great form. The medium sized, heart-shaped leaves emerge in spring with a fresh, lime-green colour, then develop golden tones in autumn before falling. The branching habit is uniform which gives it a tidy and structured appearance overall as it grows to 10 m tall and 5 m wide. Tilia cordata is commonly grown as a specimen, used for avenue plantings, or included in a mixed planting in a larger garden.

In New Zealand, it’s valued for its graceful form, dense foliage, and ability to provide excellent shade. Reaching 20–30 m tall, it suits parks, extensive gardens, and avenue plantings. The pale-yellow flowers attract bees, making it a favourite for pollinator-friendly landscapes. It thrives in deep, well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade.
