A grand deciduous tree known for its variable yet typically broad conical form with upright branches that gracefully droop at the tips, adorned with shoots covered in a white-felted texture. The leaves of Tilia tomentosa are round and possess a dark green upper surface, while underneath they sport a silvery-white felt, creating a mesmerising effect, particularly on windy days. Come autumn, the foliage transforms into a vibrant yellow, painting a classic lime tree display. The fragrant, creamy-white flowers are a delight, and hold a magnetic attraction for bees.
