Majestic deciduous tree with upper branches
that turn upwards and the lower ones
downwards. The crown which the branches
form looks like a tower, very attractive even
in winter when the tree is bare. Leaves: from
oval to heart-shaped with saw-toothed
margins, large (16cm long, 12cm wide),
glossy, bright green on the upper side, pale
green tinged with silver underneath; in
autumn they turn yellow, some deeper
yellow than others. Flowers: in June-July,
cream, very fragrant and attract bees.
Spherical fruit, 5-7 mm in diameter, dark
grey when ripe. Adapts well to all types of
soil but gives best results in deep, cool and
clay soil. Use: as a free standing specimen in
medium-large gardens, in groups in parks, as
a background plant, along streets. This is certainly the most common Lime Tree used
as a street plant in the flat and hilly areas of Italy, no higher than 600-700 m above
sea level as the active growth begins early and it could be easily damaged by late
frost.
