PLANTS OF LARGE-LEAVED LIME - TILIA PLATYPHYLLOS

Ornamental shade-tree to be grown as an isolated tree in big parks and avenues. The herbal tea from its flowers is relaxing.

Deciduous tree growing up to 40m of a height with typical clustered and hanging white-creamy and very scented flowers. Big, heart-shaped leaves. Fluffy fruit looking like a berry.

Prefers acid, fertile and fresh soils. It is found naturally in forests.

Dig a hole at least two or three times as wide and deep as the root ball. Take out the plant from the container and loosen roots to allow them to spread out in all direction. Cut possible broken roots. Mix the soil extracted with a substrate and fill part of the hole with the mixture obtained. Place the plant in the hole and cover with the remaining mixture. Compact the soil around the plant and water thoroughly.
