{"product_id":"tilia-cor-greenspire","title":"Tilia cor Greenspire","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e'Greenspire' is a small-leaved lime with a neat, symmetrical shape. It grows on a single straight trunk into a tidy, narrowly conical crown, which makes it one of the most reliable limes for avenues, driveways and formal planting. It was selected in America in the early 1960s. The heart-shaped leaves are glossy dark green above with a bluish underside, and they turn a clear golden yellow in autumn. In midsummer it bears clusters of small, creamy-yellow flowers with a rich fragrance that are a magnet for bees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is a vigorous tree that reaches around 15m tall and 7m wide when mature. It suits parks, larger gardens and boundaries, where it can be grown as a standalone specimen or planted in rows. The lower branches can be removed as it grows to create a clear stem, and it takes well to pleaching or other formal training. Small-leaved limes are much less prone to aphids than many other limes, so there is less of the sticky honeydew that can drip onto cars and paving. Plant in moist but well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade, with some shelter from cold winds. It is fully hardy and copes well with urban conditions. Water well through its first summer, and prune while dormant in late winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach tree is hand-selected before dispatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAvailable from Pengelly Garden Centre.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PengellyGardenCentre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58819120365942,"sku":null,"price":79.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0380\/1766\/3020\/files\/Greenspire.jpg?v=1790348126","url":"https:\/\/www.pengellygardencentre.co.uk\/products\/tilia-cor-greenspire","provider":"PengellyGardenCentre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
