    Tr = Bare Root Transplant

    All prices include VAT at 20%.

Large, native, deciduous tree of rounded habit. Heart-shaped leaves, glossy dark green above, pale yellow beneath. The ivory coloured, sweetly scented flowers are very attractive to bees, and appear in late July, and are so profuse that they can turn the crown of the tree creamy yellow. Not suitable for dry sites, but can thrive on poorly drained soil. Will form an attractive hedge if kept well trimmed.

HEDGE For hedges 1.2 - 3m (6 - 10ft), plant 60cm (2ft) apart.

TREE 9m x 3.7m (30ft x 12ft) in 20 years, ultimate height 23m (75ft).

Bare-Root Plants (Transplants)

Bare-root plants are sold without a pot/soil around the roots. This is a more cost effective and environmentally friendly way of growing plants. To ensure the best plant health we do not store our plants in cold storage, but they are left in our field or plant beds until they are ready for packing or collection.

Transplanted plants have been lifted from the ground and replanted. This encourages a better fibrous root system and makes the plant stronger and bushier.

Availability

Bare rooted plants are only available when the plants are dormant (typically from late November to March).

If a plant is currently out of stock because it is out of season (for example, bare rooted plants in summer) or we have sold out but we are expecting more to be available you can pre-order the plant. We only charge credit/debit cards when an order is despatched, not when an order is placed.

Planting Distances for planting as a Hedge

We recommend planting Lime, Small-leaved in a single row 60cm/2ft apart.

To calculate the number of plants needed for a length of hedging, click on Planting Distance Calculator above.

Plant Sizes for Hedging

We do not recommend the following size for hedging as these taller plants are likely to have dropped their bottom branches creating a gap at the base of the hedge:
