Tilia cordata is a spreading, native tree which grows to be majestically strong and large. Its reaching branches hold a mass of small, rounded, glossy, dark green leaves that are paler underneath. The leaves turn yellow come autumn. Flowers are borne in small bunches in summer; they are pale yellow in colour and have a beautifully sweet scent. Possible uses include woodland planting, parkland planting and planting for a windbreak.
