Common Limes (
Tilia x europaea or
x vulgaris)- a hybrid between the two native species
Tt. cordata and
platyphyllos, the small-leaved lime of the western counties and the broad-leaved tree of the east. Common Limes are most frequently planted in parks and gardens, but are rarely fertile so are propagated by cuttings or layering. Thanks to Mick Crawley for identification.
