Tilia nobilis KR 226
A Keith Rushforth collection from Emei Shan, Sichuan, China, this is hardly known in cultivation here as yet. This was found originally as a tree to about 10m tall with large rounded leaves up to 14cm long. The particularly conspicuous flower bracts are just as long and very broad and the fruit are huge (for a Tilia) at up to 1cm long and nearly globose. Slow and steady growth from this one, but hardy and extremely rare to boot. I grow this here in an open field with great success.
