Description
Tilia cordata ‘Greenspire’ is a refined and widely planted cultivar of the Small-Leaved Lime, valued for its strong central leader, symmetrical pyramidal form, and reliable performance in urban and landscape settings. Its neat, uniform growth habit makes it one of the best lime trees for avenues, streets, and formal planting schemes.
In late spring to early summer, clusters of small, fragrant pale yellow flowers appear, highly attractive to bees and pollinators. Fresh green, heart-shaped leaves create a dense canopy through summer before turning soft yellow in autumn, adding seasonal interest.
Hardy, tolerant of pollution, and adaptable to a wide range of soil conditions, ‘Greenspire’ is an excellent long-term investment for structured landscapes and larger gardens.
Supplied as a standard tree with 12–14cm girth in a 70-litre pot, approximately 3–3.5m in height, this is a well-established specimen ready for immediate impact planting.
