Tilia tomentosa 'Petiolaris'
Silver lime 'Petiolaris'
Silver lime 'Petiolaris' is notable for its graceful, cascading branches and heart-shaped, silver-tinged leaves that flutter in the breeze, resembling shimmering silver coins. This deciduous tree's pendant-like foliage emerges with a soft, downy texture, creating a whispery sound in the wind. Its ability to thrive in urban environments makes it a favored ornamental choice, enhancing landscapes with its serene, draping beauty.
Tilia endochrysea
Tilia endochrysea
Tilia endochrysea (Tilia endochrysea)—often referred to as "Basswoods" in the United States—are a group of large, deciduous trees in the mallow family. Many tilia endochrysea are planted ornamentally, as they produce dense foliage that makes them excellent shade trees. Several species are harvested for their timber, which is lightweight, soft, and very workable, making it excellent for use in craft projects and model-making. Their flowers are also of great value to beekeepers.
Tilia amurensis
Amur lime
Amur lime is native to the area along the Amur River, in eastern Asia, the river gives the plant its name. Amur lime is occasionally planted as an urban tree and its inner bark has been used to make shoes. This type of linden tree has showy, fragrant blossoms and attracts butterflies.
Tilia tomentosa
Silver linden
Silver linden is a large deciduous tree that shimmers with the breeze. It has creamy white flowers rich in nectar, attracting bees and also being valuable for butterflies. In Romania, there’s a bronze bust of the poet Mihai Eminescu who often spent time under the silver linden tree with his loved one Veronica Micle.
Tilia cordata
Small-leaved lime
Small-leaved lime (Tilia cordata) is a deciduous tree that is cultivated all over the world as an ornamental plant in parks and avenues. Honeybees like to visit the flowers; monofloral honey made from this species is considered to be very nutritious. British ship outfitters used small-leaved lime wood for onboard furniture; French shipwrights thought the weak wood was used for shipbuilding and introduced the epithet, "limey," for British people.
Tilia americana
American basswood
American basswood (Tilia americana) is a deciduous tree with a wide, rounded crown, very similar to its European cousin Tilia Cordata. A subtle difference between the species can be found on the bark - if an orange hue is present in the valleys on the bark, then it is T. Cordata.
Tilia mandshurica
Manchurian linden
Manchurian linden (Tilia mandshurica) is a deciduous tree that can grow to 12 m tall. Often compared to the American basswood or European linden trees, it produces fragrant, yellow flowers in summer. Foliage changes color in fall before becoming winter deciduous.
Tilia henryana
Henry's lime
Henry's lime is a deciduous tree growing to 25 m in height, its bark pale grey and fissured. The sea green leaves are cordate, < 10 cm long, with distinctive ciliate margins, and are borne on 3 to 5 cm petioles. The tiny pale, almost white, fragrant flowers appear in clusters of up to 51 cm autumn.
