Description

Known as Common Lime, Tilia × europaea ‘Pallida’ features attractive heart-shaped that are lime green when they emerge. By summer, the leaves are a darker green and are accompanied by sweet-scented white-yellow flowers. They attract many pollinators, making it a great choice for wildlife gardens. In autumn the leaves turn a lovely golden colour, before falling and revealing the reddish-brown branches.

Tilia × europaea ‘Pallida’ thrives in full sun to partial shade and benefits from a sheltered position. This cultivar performs best in moist, fertile, well-drained soils and is generally a reliable, resilient tree for urban and garden settings.

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. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
