Tilia platyphyllos – Large Leaved Lime

Tilia platyphyllos, commonly known as the Large-Leaved Lime, is a deciduous tree native to Europe. It typically grows to a height of 20-40 meters. This tree is characterized by its broad, heart-shaped leaves, which are larger than those of other lime species, and its fragrant, yellowish-white flowers that bloom in early summer. The Large-Leaved Lime is often planted in parks and large gardens for its ornamental value and shade. It also supports a wide range of wildlife, including bees, which are attracted to its nectar-rich flowers.
