Within the group of most spectacular deciduous trees we find the Linden. A species of a colossal size to have in large gardens, where it can be seen in all its splendor.
Let us know more about this amazing tree.
Our protagonist is one of those trees where you can protect yourself from the sun, under the shade of its leaves. Its scientific name is Tilia platyphyllos and it is native to Europe, where it grows in its forests along with beech, ash, and maples, among others. It reaches a height of about 30 meters, with a crown diameter of 7m. One of its characteristics is that its leaves turn yellow in autumn, making the garden look great. In addition, as it has an easily controllable growth rate, it is suitable for use as bonsai.
Its flowers bloom in spring or summer and your seeds will be ready in autumn. Ideal time to plant them in pots, and wait for the good weather to wake them up.
In cultivation it is a tree that requires a mild climate, without extreme temperatures. Ideally, in winter the temperature should not exceed -8ºC, and in summer the temperature should stay below 30ºC. Linden is moisture-loving, so it will be necessary water it frequently if where we live the rainfall is scarce. But otherwise will develop smoothly on clay soils.
Due to its size, it is very important that we plant it at a minimum distance of 8m from walls or any other construction. The linden is a species that is used above all as an isolated specimen, which, by the way, will attract all kinds of fauna (bees, birds, butterflies ...), which will undoubtedly also pollinate the flowers in your garden. A) Yes, you will have a horticultural ally, and free 🙂.

HOW ARE THE ROOTS OF THE LIME?
Hey.
They are very long. They need a lot of space to grow. It is best that you plant the tree about ten meters from the wall.
A greeting.
