Tilia Hybrida “Argentea” American Lime

Tilia hybrida “Argentea” American lime

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.
