Linden Lime Trees: What Makes Them Special?

Commonly referred to as both “linden” and “lime” trees (unrelated to the citrus lime), these trees belong to the genus Tilia. They are celebrated for their sweeping canopies, masses of soft green leaves, and sweetly scented yellow flowers that attract bees and beneficial insects throughout summer. Their broad crowns and upright form make them ideal for street planting, shelter belts, and large home gardens across New Zealand.

Growing Linden Lime Trees in New Zealand

Linden lime trees adapt well across much of NZ, from the cooler South Island to milder North Island regions.

Pruning is best carried out in winter, allowing you to shape the tree and maintain a tidy appearance.
