This Lime was found lining the roadside outside a block of flats. It is a large clipped tree. They often have an upright bole with an irregular crown.
The twigs are smooth and green when young and the branches are ascending and arching on older trees. Buds are ovoid, reddish brown and up to 7mm long.
The leaves are broadly ovate and grow up to 10cm long. They have a short pointed tip and a heart shaped base with a toothed margin. They are dull green on top but on the underside they are paler with tuffs of white hair is the vein axis.
This tree has been maintained and cut back as the base of the bole. It leaves bulges with small amounts of growth around it.
The bark is grey-brown and ridged.
