Topic: Tilia cordata


  
  Tilia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tilia is a genus of about 30 species of trees, native throughout most of the temperate Northern Hemisphere, in Asia (where the greatest species diversity is found), Europe and eastern North America; it is absent from western North America.
Tilia species are large deciduous trees, reaching typically 20-40m tall, with oblique-cordate leaves 6-20cm across, and are found through the north temperate regions.
The tilia was also a highly symbolic and hallowed tree in Germanic mythology.

 Tilia cordata - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tilia cordata, the Small-leaved Lime or Small-leaved Linden is a tree native to much of Europe, including southern Britain north to about Durham.
The leaves are rounded to triangular-ovate, 4-8 cm long and broad, mostly hairless (unlike the related Tilia platyphyllos) except for small tufts of brown hair in the leaf vein axils.
Tilia cordata is widely grown as an ornamental tree throughout its native range in Europe.

 Popweb: Tilia cordata - Palaeoecology
Tilia records are mainly confined to the warmest, middle substages of past interglacials.
Tilia must have formed an important constituent of the thermophilous, deciduous, mid-interglacial woodland in these past temperate phases, as during the present interglacial.
The recovery of Tilia cordata macrofossils by Kullman (1998) in the Scandes Mountains of central Sweden and AMS dated c.7,000BP, well to the north of its previously believed Holocene limit, suggests that T. cordata may have been present in Britain in low populations from much earlier in the Holocene than the pollen record suggests.

 Popweb: Tilia cordata - Identification
The bluish leaves form alternate rows on long stalks, are heart shaped (hence "cordata"), with serrated edges (Vedel and Lange, 1978) and are between 3-6 cms long.
Tilia cordata has most often been subject to coppicing, however, and fully-grown lime trees are rare (Pigott 1991).
It sprouts very strongly from cut or fallen stems and may form very dense coppice thicket.

 Tilia cordata
Tilia cordata 'Fairview' - a rapidly growing cultivar, to 60' tall by 25' wide, with foliage that is thicker and slightly larger than average
Tilia cordata 'Greenspire' - by far the most common cultivar, compact and with a long central leader, to 40' tall by 30' wide, narrowly pyramidal in youth but spreading with age, much more urban tolerant than other cultivars, and therefore the reason for its widespread usage as a street tree or specimen tree
Tilia cordata is known as a common shade or specimen tree, very symmetrical in shape, pyramidal to oval in outline, densely dark green and shiny-foliaged in Summer, but often overused as a street tree and prone to stress-induced leaf scorch, windthrow, and decline under difficult circumstances.

 Harmaja: Tilia cordata
The common, or small-leaved lime (linden tree, basswood) (Tilia cordata P.Miller; Tiliaceae) displays surprisingly much variability.
Some of this variability is well-known, some has been noted one time but has essentially remained neglected and escaped common knowledge, while some features or forms have probably been not noted at all in the literature.
cordata but this feature is but very seldom mentioned in the floras (Fig.

 Botany Photo of the Day: Castle Hill Wood (Part I)
The small-leaved lime or linden (Tilia cordata) has a very scattered distribution in the United Kingdom and is often associated with limestone bedrock, where rocky bluffs or ravines provide a refuge for this species and associated calciphilic vegetation.
Astute observers will note that the genus Tilia is in the family Malvaceae –; the same family as yesterday's Gossypium darwinii from the Galapagos!
