Tilia mexicana CDR 1318

An attractive hardy species collected in the early 1990s by Compton, D'Arcy and Rix from, wait for it, Mexico. Fast growing, hardy and like most limes is proving to be an elegant beauty. Long drawn out foliage emerges with a deep red tinge and the branches are slightly pendent. Probably a medium sized tree eventually, as were wild plants we found in '06.
