​SMALL-LEAVED LIME – Tilia cordata: [ 47 ]
Grows to more than 20m. Grey-brown bark develops flaky plates as it ages. The brown-red twigs look shiny in sunlight and the heart shaped leaves develop red hairs at the joint with the twig. Green-yellow flowers contain male and female parts and hang in clusters of up to 10. After insect pollination smooth, round, fruits develop. Lime leaves attract aphids and their predators like hover flies and ladybirds. Flowers provide nectar and pollen for insects. Caterpillars of the triangle and scare hook-tip moth also eat lime leaves. The wood is used to make piano keys as it doesn’t warp, and the bark was traditionally used to make rope.
