Silver Lime is a large handsome deciduous tree of stately habit. The leaves are short stalked heart-shaped and deeply toothed, dark green above and silver felted beneath. They give a lovely shimmering effect in a breeze and make a dense crown. The cream flowers in July are heavily scented and intoxicate bees. Autumn colour is yellow.
