CATTON ARBORETUM
Tilia platyphyllos Laciniata
Common name: Large-leaved Lime
Year planted: 2022
Country of origin: origin of the cultivar unknown
Year introduced: 1844
Description: In the UK this cultivar is most commonly found in arboretums and private collections. It is a tree however whose form which is conical or pyramidal, its size small to medium in height and its ability to survive urban environments, lend it potentially to street tree planting. Identification of this tree is best carried out when it is in full leaf. The leaves are often smaller that the common name might suggest, dark green, narrow and irregularly lobed. No leaves are the same and often have been described as having a ragged appearance. Undoubtably a very interesting tree!
