The flowers of the Caucasian Lime appear to have a narcotic effect on bees, which can sometimes be found on the ground near a tree!
The result of a cross between Tilia cordata and Tilia dasystyla, this ever popular lime can grow as broad as it is tall, so is often given the wrong sites to grow on.
Its flowers can have a narcotic effect on bees, which can sometimes be found on the ground near a tree.
Redeemingly, it is free of aphids, so an ideal tree for pleaching or boxing in hard areas. T
his Lime reacts well to pollarding, which is a good way of controlling its broadly pendulous habit.
It is a medium to large tree, and as aphids are not attracted to its dark green foliage, the associated “stickiness” is not a problem.
Good for wide verges, parks, avenues and urban plantings.
Mature height: 15-20m
