Linden Tree
€6.95
Linden Tree (Tilia cordata), also known as Lime Tree, is offered here as a bare-root tree from November to March, and as a potted tree for the rest of the year. A hardy, long-lived deciduous tree, it can eventually reach 20 to 30 m with a broad, graceful canopy of heart-shaped leaves. Clusters of small, fragrant, creamy-yellow flowers appear in early to midsummer, prized by bees and other pollinators, and traditionally used fresh or dried for calming teas and infusions; young leaves are also edible in salads. A generous shade and shelter tree for larger Irish and UK gardens, avenues, and woodland or forest-garden plantings where space allows.

Growing Instructions
Plant in full sun to partial shade in fertile, moist, well-drained soil, allowing plenty of room for its eventual size away from buildings or drains. Water well while establishing and mulch each spring with compost or leaf mould. Prune young trees only to remove dead, damaged, or crossing growth. Pick flowers on a dry day just after opening, using fresh or dried gently for tea.
