(Japanese Lime) Tilia japonica 'Ernest Wilson' is perhaps the most freely flowering lime with even young plants bearing clusters of pendant, ivory-white, scented flowers in abundance in mid-summer.

The flowers of a specimen in our own arboretum fill the air around it with its delightful scent. Excellent autumn colour!

A lovely and unusual small or eventually medium sized tree suitable for most gardens and woodland areas.

Very limited number of young plants available this year

Tilia japonica 'Ernest Wilson' is perhaps the most freely flowering lime with even young plants bearing clusters of pendant, ivory-white, scented flowers in abundance in mid-summer.

The flowers of a specimen in our own arboretum fill the air around it with its delightful scent. The leaves are light green, heart-shaped, quite coarsely toothed and in a good autumn turn to shades of rich mustard-yellow.

A lovely and unusual tree suitable for most gardens and woodland areas.
