Tilia cordata Details

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. Small, fragrant, yellow flowers are borne in summer and these are great for attracting bees. This tree typically grows to 10 m tall and 5 m wide, performing best when planted in full sun on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of frost, cool climates, and dry periods. Tilia cordata is commonly grown as a specimen, used for avenue plantings, or included in a mixed planting in a larger garden.
