Tilia x europea - Common Lime

Tilia x europea - Common Lime

I found the common lime in longford park, its capable of reaching heights of 25 meters. It is a hybrid tree crossed small leaved and large leaved limes.


Bosses appear on the trunk.
Long ridges and cracks appear as it turns into adulthood.
The leaves grow from 6-10 cm long with whitish hairs underneath.
Fruits emerge as small bead like pods that grow in clusters of 4.
