Platphyllos Large Leaved Lime

Large-leaved lime is the rarest of our native limes and is only subtly different from small-leaved lime. The bark is darker than that of small-leaved lime, and smooth, developing flaky plates with age. Twigs are grey-green in the shade but look reddish in sunlight. Unlike small-leaved lime, large-leaved lime does not produce suckers from the base of the trunk.
