Red Twigged Lime
Considered a majestic tree the Tilia Rubra features highly unusual semi-erect red branches that boast heart-shaped mid-green leaves, which pale to yellow during autumn. It also produces pendulous clusters of fragrant yellow-green flowers.
The tree is broadly columnar in shape, eventually becoming tall and robust. Ensure ample space is given when planting, to give this wonderful tree enough room to grow and thrive.
