Description
The Tilia ‘Rubra’ is a majestic tree which features highly unusual semi-erect red branches that hold heart-shaped mid-green leaves. The leaves fade to yellow in autumn, and as they fall they reveal the glowing red branches which look magnificent when topped with snow in winter. The tree grows to have a broadly columnar shape and it will eventually become a tall and mighty tree many people plant this tree for its winter interest, and it also makes a brilliant shade tree in spring and summer. Ensure that you plant this wonderful lime tree in a position that gives it enough room to grow and thrive.
