Small-Leaved Lime is a large and long-living tree. It has a wide, natural range and can be found throughout most of Europe. It is very similar to the large-leaved, both in terms of appearance and properties, but it is distinguished by having hairs in the vein axils on the lower surface of its leaves.
Lime trees grow best in deep loamy soils but is quite drought tolerant and can also be found on sandy and infertile soils.
Lime is tolerant of shade and usually grows in dense forests in association with other species.
Lime wood is soft and resistant to splitting and mostly used for carving. Moreover, almost all parts of the tree can be used for products such as fodder, ropes or firewood. Small-Leaved Lime is, like other lime species, also important for amenity use, shelterbelts and plantings in the open landscape, in urban areas and recreational forestry.
Many fungi and insects are associated with the tree and it is particularly important for honeybees and thus honey production. The tree is able to survive more than 1000 years, even when being managed as coppice.
