Patf Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Yes it's tilleul - ie lime or linden. The blossoms in early summer have a wonderful perfume. We have one, it's a beautiful tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 A beautiful tree yes but don't park your car under it. It drips a sap that is next to impossible to get off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

londoneye Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 ... and if possible don't let it get tooooooooo big. Ours took two separate lightening hits last summer which made a complete mess of it, and as everyone has said, it is a gorgeous tree. Ended up getting it professionally lopped to a height where we can manage it ourselves in future. Currently its not very beautiful, but they do grow back fast (we have had over half a metre of growth in a few months - not the trunk of course!), so if it is huge and exposed and/or near a building you might want to think of getting it cut a little (or a lot in our case).
