Tilia tuan var. chenmoui

A relatively recently introduced Chinese lime, this should make a medium sized tree in the UK, eventually with exfoliating bark. The comparatively drawn-out foliage is particularly elegant, softly silvery-grey tomentose above and below on newest growth, retaining it only on the underside. Hardy and late frost resistant. A strong growing species, doing very well here, at RHS Wisley and also in Cumbria, for example.
