Common Name: Small Lime Brabant Latin Name: Tilia tormentosa 'Brabant'Soil: Moist but well-drained soilPosition: Full sun or partial shadeFlowering period/colour: July/Ivory flowersHardiness: Fully hardyEventual height/spread: 25m/15mSpecial features: Highly fragrant flowers that are only pollenated by Honey Bees as the nectar is actually toxic to other bees The Brabant is a tall and mighty tree which features heart-shaped leaves that are dark green in colour and serrated at their edges. The leaves are veined with light green and have hairy white undersides to them. The leaves are at their best in autumn when they turn to golden yellow before falling.Aside from the foliage, the flowers are also highly desirable; they are creamy white in colour and appear in mid-summer. The flowers carry a potently sweet scent which is attractive to honey bees, but interestingly the nectar of the flowers is toxic to other types of bees. This tree grows to have a broadly conical shape and it should be planted in a suitable position for it to have the room it needs to grow strong and thrive.
