Trees for Heavy Soils: Large Leaved Lime (Tilia platyphyllos)

Now very rarely found in the wild, but often planted as a handsome large specimen tree, or in clumps in parkland. Unlike the Small Leaved Lime and Common Lime does not sprout side shoots from its base. The Common Lime is a much more common and naturally recurring hybrid between the two native species.
As the Small Leaved Lime, Tilia platyphyllos is a stately well shaped tree that can live to a grand old age.Its flowers, produced in May/June, are a magnet for bees, and its nectar makes lovely honey. Needs moist, deep soil.
Provenance certificates are available on request for Lime trees, which are from the Southwest of England.
