Notes | One of a pair of Common Limes planted either side of the gateway about 70 years ago so younger than those along the boundary wall along Sid Road. Common Limes have nothing to do with citrus fruits. They are a hybrid between the two native Lime or Linden trees, Small Leaved and Large Leaved Limes, with heart shaped leaves intermediate in size. Rather than being juicy, the fruits are small hard pods that hang in clusters under bracts that help them disperse with the wind. More about Common Limes if you click here. |  |
