Large leaved Lime, Linden

This large broadly pyramidal shaped Tilia platyphyllos, also known as Large leaved Lime, is perfect for avenue planting where formal uniformity is required.

The yellow flowers bourne in June through July are a valuable source to bees and butterflies.

Large downy shoots give rise to a full canopy of big lush leaves that turn yellow in autumn. The leaves are uniquely heart-shaped, featuring a tapered top and a slanted base. They persist well into late autumn, enhancing the tree's seasonal appeal.

Tilia platyphyllos Delft is a distinguished tree with a light grey trunk that develops grooves over time. Its young twigs display a greenish hue, adding to its vibrant appearance.

Ideal for urban settings, Large leaved Lime thrives in streets, avenues, squares, and parks, where its majestic presence and enduring foliage contribute to the charm of public spaces.

It will thrive in most free draining soil types, tolerant of wind and part shade.
