Tilia Cordata Rancho - Pyramidal Lime Tree - 80 litre Pot (16-18cm girth)

Tilia Rancho has small and shiny heart-shaped leaves which are dark green on the surface and light green on the underside; the leaves of this cultivation are much smaller than the species and other cultivars such as ‘Greenspire’.

The creamy coloured, fragrant flowers appear in July and are a welcome addition to this attractive variety of native tree.

In the autumn time, the foliage turns a golden yellow.

Tilia cordata Rancho is smaller in stature than the species and the popular Small Leaved Lime variety ‘Greenspire’, however it is considered to have a neater crown, with ascending and mechanically strong branching angles.

At maturity, this tree produces a dense and conical habit which is extremely regular and tidy; making it a super choice for avenues.

Like all Lime trees, this tree performs well on most soils and will tolerate clay.
