As the tree ages, the dark grey bark becomes deeply fissured and marked which gives the tree a wonderful character.

History: Native to the Wye Valley and South Yorkshire.

Tilia Growing Tips: Grows readily on light or heavy soils and will put up with temporarily soaking ground. Avoid growing in very dry conditions or exposure to very strong winds.
