About this product

The Tilia x euchlora, also known as Caucasian or Crimean Lime, has large dark green leaves that are characteristic of lime. 

The fragrant creamy yellow flowers appear in late spring, followed by bright yellow/orange flowers in autumn.

Tilia x euchlora is the result of a cross between Tilia cordata and Tilia dasystyla, and usefully, aphids are not attracted to its dark green foliage, so the associated "stickiness" is not a problem.

Lime is a tough and tolerant tree that will cope with planting in various conditions, including heavy clay soils.

This large tree can grow as broad as it is tall, so care should be taken to plant it where space allows. Thus, it is probably best selected for a parkland setting.

This vigorous tree is a perfect addition to a traditional planting scheme or avenue.

Mature height: 17-22m
