Small-leaved Lime
Long established in Ireland, Tilia cordata is a medium-sized, deciduous tree with a dense rounded habit and a broad crown. The bark is smooth and brownish-grey, and new twigs are a rich orange-red; there is often twiggy growth at the base of the trunk. The glossy, deep-green leaves are heart-shaped, about 3”/8cm long, and turn yellow in autumn. The flowers are hermaphrodite, creamy-white and wonderfully scented, appearing in June; they give a very good honey, and a delicious, relaxing tisane can be made from them. A lovely specimen tree, but be aware that aphids love it too, so it is wise to plant the small-leaved lime where it won’t drip honey-dew onto cars or other objects beneath.
