Description

Tilia × europaea (Common Lime) makes an exceptional pleached tree, with attractive heart-shaped green leaves turning buttery yellow in autumn. With the foliage forming dense coverage as it matures, Pleached Lime is well suited to creating screening, privacy or shade where desired. Sweetly fragrant, small pale-yellow flowers provide additional summer and nectar to pollinators.

Pleached Lime trees are well suited to formal gardens and contemporary landscapes, and are valued for their tolerance of urban conditions and pollution.

Our Pleached Tilia trees have been expertly trained by specialists to create a neat framework of branches atop clear stems. These container-grown specimens are available year-round, offering greater planting flexibility than traditional rootball stock.

Planting Steps

1Preparation

Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

Water generously around the base of the plant.
If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. The bamboo frame on pleached trees should only be cut off when the tree is mature enough.
